Diopsys® ERG vision test

A Diopsys® ERG vision test is a painless, safe, non-invasive way for your eye care provider to objectively measure the function of your retina – the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye.

When light from an image enters your eye, it is turned into electrical energy by cells in the retina. Pattern ERG, or electroretinography, uses visual stimuli from a computer screen in different patterns and contrasts to elicit that electrical response. The electrical energy created is measured by the Diopsys® ERG vision test, and used to create a report for your doctor. It is similar to an EKG, but for your eyes.

Diopsys® VEP vision test

A Diopsys® VEP vision test is a painless, safe, non-invasive way for your eye care provider to objectively measure the function of your entire vision system.

When light from an image enters your eye, it is turned into electrical energy by cells in the retina – the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. These cells send the electrical energy back to the visual cortex, the part of your brain where the image is processed.

VEP, or Visual Evoked Potential, uses visual stimuli from a computer screen in different patterns and contrasts to elicit the electrical response from your retina. The electrical energy is then sent to your visual cortex, where the Diopsys® VEP vision test records the electrical signal, and creates a report for your doctor. It is similar to an EKG, but for your entire vision system.

Aberrometer

A quantum leap forward in vision correction. Revolutionary technology measures over 11,000 prescription points per eye to provide a new standard in vision correction.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

Laser imaging of the optic nerve and macula gives the doctor excellent glaucoma and macular disease detection information.

Anterior Segment Digital Camera

Digital photography of the front of the eye allows the doctor to document and follow diseases of the cornea and front of the eye.

Topographer

Accurately measures the shape of the cornea (the front of the eye) for the detection of keratoconus and other diseases of the cornea.

Visual Field Testing

Tests for vision loss caused by diseases such as brain tumors, stroke, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

Glare Testing

Tests for glare caused by cataracts and other disorders of the eye. It allows the doctor to determine if cataracts are causing decreased vision.

A-scan

Ultrasound measurement of the axial length of the eye.  Used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for Myopia Control.

BlephEx

A device that removes excess bacteria, biofilm and bacterial toxins, the main causes of dry eye and blepharitis. Click here to learn more!

LipiView II Logo

Accurately measures tear layer thickness, evaluates blink rate, and visualizes meibomian gland structure to determine the eye’s ability to adequately produce  tears.


LipiFlow Logo
The only FDA approved instrument that restores the meibomian gland (oily tear gland) function. LipiFlow gently heats and massages the eyelids to express the meibomian glands and restore normal tear function.
