Technology
Modern diagnostic and surgical technology helps specialists detect conditions earlier, measure more precisely and plan treatment with confidence. Here is what each one does — in plain language.
DiagnosticBiometry
Precise eye measurements used to calculate intraocular lens power for cataract surgery.
Optical biometry measures the length of the eye, the curvature of the cornea and the depth of the front chamber using light-based interferometry. These measurements feed lens-power formulas that help surgeons select an intraocular lens suited to each eye.
DiagnosticTopography
Colour-coded maps of corneal shape for keratoconus screening and refractive planning.
Corneal topography and tomography map the curvature and thickness of the cornea. They are essential for detecting keratoconus, fitting specialist contact lenses and assessing suitability for laser vision correction.
DiagnosticVisual Fields
Maps your peripheral and central vision to detect functional loss.
During a visual field test you look at a central target and press a button when you notice small lights appearing around it. The result maps the sensitivity of your field of vision, which is key in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
ImagingOCT
Cross-sectional scans of the retina and optic nerve, captured in seconds without contact.
OCT uses near-infrared light to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina's layers, much like an ultrasound uses sound. It helps detect and monitor macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema, macular holes and glaucoma-related nerve fibre thinning.
ImagingFundus Imaging
Detailed colour photographs of the retina, optic disc and blood vessels.
A specialised camera photographs the back of the eye, creating a permanent record of the retina, macula and optic nerve. Images can be compared between visits to identify subtle changes in conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
SurgicalPhaco
Small-incision cataract removal using controlled ultrasound energy.
Phacoemulsification systems use ultrasound to break up the clouded lens so it can be removed through a very small incision, before a folded intraocular lens is inserted. Modern fluidics help maintain a stable eye during surgery.
SurgicalExcimer Laser
Ultraviolet laser that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive error.
Excimer lasers remove microscopic amounts of corneal tissue with high precision to reshape its curvature, correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism in LASIK and surface laser procedures. Eye-tracking systems follow small eye movements during treatment.
Patient benefits
High-resolution imaging can reveal subtle changes before symptoms appear.
Seeing your own scans makes conditions and decisions easier to understand.
Accurate measurements support surgical planning and lens selection.
Most diagnostic tests are quick, painless and non-contact.
FAQs
No. OCT, biometry, topography and fundus photography are non-contact or very gentle tests. You simply look at a target for a few seconds.
