AEC Diagnostics

The following tests will be done in order to diagnose your eye problem:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) ( آپٹیکل کوہرنس ٹوموگرافی (او سی ٹی

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was recently developed and has become a crucial tool in clinical practice. AS-OCT is a non-contact imaging device that provides a detailed structure of the anterior part of the eyes.

Clinical Applications of Anterior Segment
Optical Coherence Tomography

AS-OCT can be widely applicable in various clinical diseases, including tear meniscus evaluation, ocular-surface disease, corneal dystrophies, and stromal diseases, tissue change analysis after cataract and glaucoma surgery, and angle assessment. This non-contact-type technology with a high resolution and high reproducibility provides comprehensive and quantitative information.

OCT Angiography

Angio Scan

OCT Angiography is one of the newest Frontier and future for the progressive technology of Imaging in diagnostic Eye Care.
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) offers three-dimensional (3-d) imaging of the anterior segment, retina, and optic nerve head (similar to a C T- Scan test of the eye) permitting early analysis and timely management of eye illnesses.

Uses of OCT Angio:

Used to diagnose and manage retinal diseases like:
• diabetic retinopathy
• age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
• artery and retinal vein occlusions (BRVO)
• glaucoma

Benefits over FFA:

• A high-velocity tool- produces snapshots in 10-15 seconds; FFA takes over 10-15 mins
• Non-invasive; FFA needs injections
• No dye injected, as a substitute uses motion assessment. hence no leakage, staining and other side results which include nausea and severe hypersensitive reactions (anaphylaxis)
• Can collect exceptional test sizes inside the macula and the optic disc in about three seconds
• Can test the other eye in the same sitting, in contrast to FFA, that’s one eye in keeping with sitting
• provides accurate length and localization. FFA results are enormously variable and frequently obscured by way of subjective interpretation by doctors.
• Visualizes both the retinal and choroidal vasculature
• may be used for habitual screening examinations for early analysis of vascular abnormalities, and for ordinary observe- follow up examinations to evaluate the efficacy of treatments inclusive of intravitreal injections.

Digital Perimetry Test

Humphery Visual Field Test

Visual Field

Acuity Eye center offers customized Visual field assessment Facilities. This test is especially useful and highly sensitive for certain glaucoma and neurological disorders.

The Humphrey visual field is a diagnostic test to measure visual fields or perimetry. The Humphrey visual field test measures the entire area of peripheral vision that can be seen while the eye is focused on a central point.

If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma, chances are high that, you may have taken many fields of vision tests.

This test helps your doctor discover and monitor glaucoma. Usually, the visual field test is taken once a year, however, looking at the severity of your glaucoma, your doctor might plan to check your field of vision more often.

A visual test maps out what your world feels like to you. It measures the realm of vision, or how wide of an area your eye will see. eye disease is commonly known as “The Thief of Sight” because it always could be a painless process that largely affects the peripheral, or side vision, first.

The field of vision shows changes that don’t seem to be noticed by the patient until the harm is severe. different diseases, like cataracts, stroke, macular degeneration, and diabetes, may also influence the visual field. Your doctor can take these possible effects on your examination once deciphering the results.

Types of the field of vision Test:
There are different types of visual field tests. The one most ordinarily employed is that the Humphrey visual field, that consists of a middle fixation light and blinking test lights in your side vision

It is vital when taking this test that you just consider the fixation light within the center and press the button once the blinking test light is seen together with your side vision. If you move your eyes to follow or search for the blinking lights, it decreases the dependability of the test and therefore the ability of your doctor to observe your illness. Areas that seem grey or black on the test results reflect areas in your vision that are blurred or missing. If your glaucoma remains uncontrolled, these areas can get darker and bigger.

Another kind of visual field take a look at is the Goldmann field of vision. This test is finished with a moving target controlled by a trained technician.

Monitoring Progress Your doctor will tailor the sort of test to best monitor your illness and change treatment fittingly. If your field of vision is worsening, it may mean that your pressures are too high and more treatment is critical to lowering your eye pressure.

It is vital to get a visual test as often as is usually recommended by your ophthalmologist, so as to observe progress and preserve vision.

Biometry

It is the process of measuring the power of the cornea (keratometry) and the length of the eye and using this data to determine the ideal intraocular lens power. If this calculation is not performed, or if it is inaccurate, then patients may be left with a significant refractive error.

This is a test to measure the shape and size of the eye. The goal of this test is to calculate the power of the intraocular lens (IOL) implants required for cataract and refractive surgery. Biometry can take place by using either optical coherence interferometry or ultrasound technology.

IOL Master

IOL Master

A non-contact optical device that measures the distance from the corneal vertex to the retinal pigment epithelium by partial coherence interferometry, the IOL Master is consistently accurate to within ±0.02 mm or better. The IOL Master is the first such device to be widely used in clinical ophthalmology.

An intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye as part of a treatment for cataracts or myopia. The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy eye's natural lens has been removed.

IOL Master is a noncontact instrument designed to provide key information necessary for IOL power calculations: It measures axial length, anterior chamber depth, and white-to-white, and performs keratometry at a diameter of 2.5 mm.

Digital Fundus Photograph

Digital Fundus Photograph

Fundus photography involves photographing the rear of an eye; also known as the fundus. ... The main structures that can be visualized on a fundus photo are the central and peripheral retina, optic disc and macula.

Role of Handheld devices in eye examination of Children

Handheld devices for children's Eye Examination

Acuity eye center Lahore gives due attention and importance to proper eye examination of your child. The handheld slit lamp is used to examine the child in a cot or mother's lap. The recently installed Japanese Retinomax Handheld Auto Refractor Keratometer is considered to be one of the best and the most accurate instrument to measure Refractive errors and corneal power in Children. The beauty with these states of handheld devices is that the patient" eyes may examine in sitting, standing and lying positions even in mother" lap.
