early detection saves sight. Innovative eye scanning technology for detection and prevention of eye disease

Eyescan uses a combination of findings and sophisticated software analysis.

We measure your eye pressure without drops with a non-contact tonometer. Glaucoma is often associated with elevated eye pressure. We measure your visual field. This assesses your blind spot and surrounding area and has the ability to pick up early losses that are not noticed until there has been permanent vision loss.

We measure your corneal thickness with a Pentacam. This uses a specially designed rotating beam of light to create a 3D image of the front structures of the eye, showing great detail about the cornea, anterior chamber and the lens of the eye. Thick or thin corneas affect eye pressure readings and narrow or shallow structures can affect drainage of fluid from the eye.

We use an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomographer) to generate 3-dimensional images of the optic nerve and surrounding retinal nerve fibre layer. The OCT is extremely sensitive and can detect even small changes in your eyes helping provide one of the earliest detection mechanisms for glaucoma.

We photograph your eye with a digital retinal camera to examine the optic nerve for damage, differences and also look for telltale damaged nerve fibre areas.
