What is Retinal Imaging?
Sparks & Feros now offers digital imaging when you visit us for your regular eye exam. This new technology helps us to monitor and detect any changes to the back of your eyes by taking detailed pictures of the retina. We strongly encourage the use of this new technology as an integral tool in determining your eye health as well as creating a more comprehensive record of the current condition of your eyes. Digital flash photography has the added safety benefit of no radiation or x-ray exposure to your eyes. We have invested in this new technology because we are committed to providing you with the highest standard of eye care available.
Visual Field Testing
Our office uses a Humphrey visual field analyzer in order to detect vision loss in any part of the visual field. This is important when evaluating patients diagnosed with glaucoma, or suspected of having glaucoma. There are characteristic patterns of vision loss associated with damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma. Visual field testing allows us to detect these early vision changes, and also helps us to monitor progression of the disease.
Although rare visual field testing is also helpful in detecting vision loss caused by neurologic disorders such as stroke, or certain brain conditions.
