We can now schedule you in our office for very advanced testing that uses these new and exciting technologies:

GDx. GDx stands for Glaucoma Diagnosis. It is a new computerized test that measures the thickness of the optic nerve tissue. It is similar to taking a picture of the inside of the eye. It is painless, quick and does not require that your eyes be dilated. It is used for early diagnosis of glaucoma, for follow up of glaucoma treatment, and in early detection of glaucoma in relatives of glaucoma patients.

Ocular Blood Flow Analyzer. The better the blood flow, the healthier the eye from a glaucoma standpoint. The Blood Flow Analyzer is useful in evaluating patients with normal tension glaucoma, which is thought to be around 20% in the United States. Additionally, blood flow slows prior to any evidence of background diabetic retinopathy, and reduced ocular blood flow is a significant predictor of systemic diseases related to arteriolar sclerotic changes.

Optical Coherence Tomography. With the introduction of the OCT system, technological expertise can be applied to the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases of the retina, iris, cornea and lens. This allows for advanced evaluation of corneal dystrophies and degenerations, the structures that can be involved in glaucoma, retinal and macular degenerations, as well as other retinal problems.
