Corneal Topographer – maps the hills and valleys of the cornea (front surface of the eye); Corneal topography is used in the diagnosis and management of various corneal curvature abnormalities and diseases such as keratoconus, corneal transplants, irregular astigmatism and corneal scars, as well as fitting contact lenses and planning refractive surgery (i.e. LASIK).
Differences between a patient’s corneas are evident in this example. When both eyes are shown together, the right eye is on the left and left eye is on the right, as if the doctor were staring into the patient’s eyes.

The Advanced Diagnostic Testing Center In our Wyomissing office conveniently houses the following instruments in one location:

Specular Microscope – takes a picture of the endothelium (the bottom layer of the cornea); The specular microscope helps the doctors to monitor for progression of sight-threatening corneal degenerations as well as damage from contact lens wear.
Here, for a different patient, differences can be seen between one cornea’s endothelium and the other’s.
Fundus Camera – takes pictures of the front part of the eye as well as the back of the eye (retina, macula, optic nerve, blood vessels) to document eye diseases and disorders observed during examination.
This image is of a left eye, which is on the doctor’s right when looking at a patient. The small, whitish disc to the left of center is the head of the optic nerve that connects at the back of the eye.
Automatic Lensometer – reads the prescription in the glasses the patient is currently wearing.
Automatic Refractor – gives an estimation of the patient’s current glasses prescription which is used as a starting point by the doctors.
Frequency Doubling Perimetry – a screening visual field that tests for underlying neurologic eye problems, such as pituitary or other sight/life threatening tumors, stroke, optic nerve inflammation, early glaucoma or other neurological conditions; The doctors will perform a medical visual field test for further analysis if any abnormalities are observed on the screening.
Optical Coherence Tomography – compiles a 2D image to give a 3D representation of the retina and/or optic nerve; this helps the doctors to monitor conditions like macular degeneration, epiretinal membrane (wrinkling of the macula), glaucoma, etc.
Visual Field Test – tests a patient’s peripheral and central vision; the doctors use the visual field to monitor for the presence or progression of glaucoma, ocular toxicity from medications (i.e. Plaquenil), stroke, optic nerve inflammation or other neurologic eye conditions.
NEW – Optomap – ultra-wide digital retinal imaging system; provides your doctor with a more detailed view of the retina, the back of the eye, than can be captured with conventional instruments. An Optomap retinal exam may help diagnose diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, as well as other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
A typical Examination Room has the following instruments:
A Phoropter on the left and a Slit Lamp on the pedestal on the right. The small, black instrument below the computer monitor in the center is a Keratometer, a manual instrument to measure the curvature of the eye.
Phoropter – contains many lenses that can be combined in multiple ways to help the doctors determine the most accurate glasses prescription for the patient.
Slit Lamp: a microscope that magnifies the eye so the doctors can evaluate the health of the patient’s eyes; The doctors use lenses in combination with the microscope to increase the magnification and see inside the eye, viewing the retina (wallpaper inside the eye containing all of the cells that we see with), the macula (center of best vision on the retina), blood vessels and optic nerve.
Our busy Optical Service Department, now has Visioffice!
Visioffice: measures the distance between the two eyes, height of bifocal, how the patient moves his/her eyes and head to make the glasses prescription custom to each patient’s unique eyes.
Visioffice records measurement necessary for delivering to a patient the most precise, individualized vision.
