OCT Tests for Vision Loss
Sudden or gradual vision loss can be alarming. Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) testing is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that helps us identify the underlying causes of vision loss.
- Advanced Technology: OCT uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina, allowing us to view its detailed structure and pinpoint issues such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma.
- Early Detection: By detecting eye conditions early, we can start treatment promptly, improving the chances of preserving vision.Bandage Contact Lenses
Bandage contact lenses are a therapeutic tool used in the treatment of various eye conditions and injuries. These lenses protect the cornea, promote healing, and provide relief from discomfort.
- Protective Barrier: The lenses serve as a shield for damaged or diseased corneas, preventing further irritation or injury.
- Healing Aid: By keeping the eye moist and protected, these lenses facilitate the natural healing process of the cornea.
- Comfort Enhancement: They help alleviate pain and discomfort during the healing period, allowing you to perform daily activities with less difficulty.
