Comprehensive eye examinations
Eyes are an important indicators of overall health, and a comprehensive eye exam goes beyond a prescription of glasses or contact lenses. Mark will also be looking for eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macula degeneration or cataracts. With either the use of visual field testing, digital retinal camera, OCT or Optomap technology we can be rest assured the macula and glaucoma assessment is thorough. This gives Mark the best chance of picking up early problems and appropriate referral to an eye surgeon.

OCT imaging shows a 3D view of the macula, which can pick up the earliest forms of macula degeneration and glaucoma. (picture of the Nidek OCT)
The new Optomap at Newton produces high-resolution 200° image of your retina that is much wider than a traditional 45° image. This can pick up damage like retinal tears, melanoma, and peripheral blood vessel damage associated with diabetes. This scan creates an instant and permanent image on file you can view with Mark, which will help with changes into the future. (picture of Optomap and 200 v 45, healthy eye)
