Clinical Serves
At our clinic, we offer advanced disease management services. To ensure that we provide up-to-date clinical services, Dr. Zach and Melissa attend courses and trade shows every year to enhance their clinical skills and stay informed. Here are some examples of the technology we use in our clinic.
Ocular Coherence Tomogrophy
Optical Perimetry
Ocular Perimetry or the "Visual Field Test" allows us to map out the total of what your eye can and cannot see. Often people develop blind spots and do not even know. This test allows us to diagnose blindness early so that we can prevent the spreading fo the issue causing the blind spot.
​
In 2024 we upgraded our perimetry system to the Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 (HFA3). If you have ever had your visual field measured, you may remember a long and boring test. Our new HFA3 allows us to decrease testing time to under 4 minutes. With older technology, this test takes 8-12 minutes on average.
Ocular Coherence Tomography or OCT is a type of scanning measurement that we use to build 3-D images of the structures inside the eye. With these machines we can much more reliably manage and diagnose diseases including but not limited to: Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Macular Holes, Epiretinal Membranes, and Retinal Detachments.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Unfortunately, some people experience injuries and diseases that cause the cornea (the clear part of the front of the eye) to scar and become distorted. Many of these people would have clear vision if it were not for these corneal issues. Scleral lenses are not medical treatment apparatuses, but they do repair visual impairment as far as 20/20 in some of these patients.
Visit the Contact Lens Page for more information on scleral lenses.
Corneal Topogrophy
Our Medmont corneal topographer allows us to monitor diseases such as those that were mentioned with scleral lenses. This imaging device not only allows us to observe and monitor those conditions over time, but it also allows us to build custom-fit contact lenses that fit only your specific eye rather than using mass-produced lenses such as those found on sites like 1-800 contacts.
Low-Level Light Therapy
The InfinityPro system is a cutting-edge Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) device. It is equipped with a full spectrum of LED wavelengths Blue, Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Infrared Light. We use this treatment to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin on the face surrounding the eyes. Additionally, this therapy works to repair and stimulate the meibomian glands (the oil glands that supplement the tear layer of the eye), reduce inflammation, and combat acne rosacea.
iCare Tonomery
Hate the dreaded "puff test"? Several years ago we threw out our old Non-Contact Tonometer (the puff machine) and replaced It with the iCare. The iCare allows us to check interocular pressure and screen for glaucoma without using excessive eye drops AND it is much less startling than the puff test.
