Diagnostic & Other Facilities

Lipiview and Lipiflow

Lipiview: Lipiview is an advanced diagnostic tool used to assess the lipid layer of the tear film. It provides detailed images and measurements of tear film dynamics, aiding in the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome and guiding personalized treatment plans.

Lipiflow: Lipiflow is a therapeutic device that uses thermal pulsation technology to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, a common cause of evaporative dry eye. It applies controlled heat and gentle pressure to unclog and express blocked glands, restoring normal function and improving tear quality.

TRK-2P

TRK-2P is a specialized instrument used for corneal topography and refractive analysis. It maps the curvature and shape of the cornea with high precision, essential for planning refractive surgeries such as LASIK or evaluating corneal irregularities.

Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT)

NCT is a quick and painless procedure used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) without touching the eye. It is commonly used for routine screenings and monitoring of glaucoma, where elevated IOP can indicate potential damage to the optic nerve.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

OCT (Retina): OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. It helps in diagnosing and managing retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment by providing detailed views of retinal layers and structures.

OCT (Glaucoma): OCT is also used to assess the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer, crucial for detecting and monitoring glaucoma. It aids in early detection and precise evaluation of glaucomatous damage, guiding treatment decisions to preserve vision.

OCT (Cornea): OCT is utilized for evaluating corneal thickness, analyzing corneal layers, and detecting abnormalities such as keratoconus or corneal dystrophies. It provides valuable insights for corneal disease management and surgical planning.

USG-A Scan/USG-B Scan

USG-A Scan: Ultrasound A-scan measures the axial length of the eye, essential for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power during cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange. It ensures accurate IOL selection for optimal post-operative vision.

USG-B Scan: Ultrasound B-scan is used to visualize and evaluate the posterior segment of the eye when direct visualization is limited. It helps in detecting conditions such as retinal detachment, intraocular tumors, or vitreous hemorrhage.

Sirius-2 Topography

Sirius-2 is an advanced corneal topography system that combines multiple imaging technologies to create detailed maps of the corneal surface. It provides precise measurements of corneal curvature, elevation, and irregularities, essential for diagnosing corneal disorders and planning treatments like refractive surgery.

Fundus Fluorescein Angiography

Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a fluorescent dye to examine blood flow in the retina and choroid. It helps in identifying and monitoring conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vascular diseases by highlighting abnormalities in retinal circulation.

Humphrey Perimeter (Field Test)

Humphrey visual field analyzer is used to assess the full extent of a patient’s peripheral vision (visual field). It is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions affecting the visual field, such as glaucoma, optic nerve disorders, and neurological conditions.

Optical Biometry (Topcon)

Optical biometry is a precise method for measuring intraocular distances, including axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth. It is essential for calculating IOL power accurately in cataract surgery and other intraocular lens procedures.

Specular Microscopy

Specular microscopy is used to evaluate the corneal endothelium, which plays a critical role in maintaining corneal transparency and hydration. It provides detailed images and quantitative analysis of endothelial cell density, morphology, and function, aiding in the assessment of corneal health and disease progression.

YAG LASER Capsulotomy/Iridotomy

YAG laser capsulotomy and iridotomy are laser procedures used to treat certain conditions affecting the posterior capsule of the lens (after cataract surgery) or the iris. They create small openings to improve visual clarity (capsulotomy) or manage intraocular pressure (iridotomy) without the need for surgery.

Greeen LASER (Quantel)

Green laser refers to a specific wavelength of laser light used in ophthalmology for various treatments, including retinal photocoagulation to manage diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and other retinal conditions. It provides precise thermal energy to target and treat abnormal blood vessels or retinal tissue.

Slit Lamp Photography

Slit lamp photography captures high-resolution images of the anterior segment of the eye (cornea, iris, and lens) and is essential for documenting eye conditions, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating treatment outcomes.

Fundus Photography

Fundus photography is used to photograph the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and macula. It provides detailed images for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases, optic nerve disorders, and other posterior segment conditions.

RGP Contact Lens/ Scleral Lens

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) and scleral contact lenses are specialized lenses used to correct vision in patients with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus or corneal transplants. They provide clear vision and comfort by vaulting over irregularities and ensuring optimal tear film distribution.

Collagen Cross Linking (CXL)

Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a treatment for keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders that involves applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops and UV light to strengthen corneal collagen fibers. It stabilizes the cornea and may prevent progressive thinning and vision loss.

Eye Bank

An eye bank is a facility that collects, stores, and distributes donor corneal tissue for transplantation. It plays a crucial role in providing sight-saving corneal transplants to patients with corneal diseases or injuries.

Genetic Counselling

Genetic counseling provides information and support to individuals and families affected by genetic eye diseases or conditions with a hereditary component. It helps patients understand their genetic risks, make informed decisions, and access appropriate medical care and resources.

Low Visual Aids

Low vision aids are devices and tools designed to maximize remaining vision in individuals with significant visual impairment. They include magnifiers, telescopes, electronic devices, and specialized optical lenses tailored to individual needs and preferences.
