01 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Slit-Lamp Biomicroscope
A binocular microscope with an adjustable beam of light, used to examine the cornea, iris and natural lens.
DIAGNOSTIC TECHNOLOGY
Modern Equipment
A closer look at instruments used in ophthalmic care.
INSTRUMENTS & PURPOSE
Precision tools, clearly explained.
From retinal imaging to refraction, different instruments answer different diagnostic questions. Explore how each technology is used before your visit.
02 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Retinal OCT Scanner
Optical coherence tomography creates cross-sectional images of retinal layers and can assist with macular and optic-nerve evaluation.
03 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Non-Contact Tonometer
Measures pressure inside the eye; this is one part of glaucoma evaluation, not a stand-alone diagnostic test.
04 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Phoropter & Refraction
Interchangeable lenses help assess spectacle correction and guide a prescription for glasses.
05 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Fundus Photography
Photographs the retina, including the optic disc and macula, supporting documentation of retinal findings.
06 / DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Visual Field Perimetry
A controlled visual-field test can detect areas of reduced peripheral or central sensitivity.

YOUR EXAMINATION
The right investigation starts with the right question.
Not every patient needs every test. The choice of examinations depends on age, symptoms, medical history and clinical findings. A comprehensive eye examination is more than an equipment checklist.
