Advanced Eye Diagnostics

A closer look at your eye health

A comprehensive eye exam is about more than checking how clearly you see. At SK Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic technology to take a closer look at the structures and function of your eyes, helping us detect changes, evaluate concerns, and monitor your eye health over time.

Depending on your individual needs, your examination may include advanced imaging and testing to provide a more complete picture of your eyes.

Technology That Helps Us See More

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT uses light to create detailed, cross-sectional images of the structures inside your eyes. It allows us to examine layers of the retina and optic nerve that cannot be seen as clearly with a traditional eye exam.

OCT can be helpful when evaluating and monitoring conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye changes, and other retinal or optic nerve conditions.

Retinal Imaging

Retinal imaging provides detailed photographs of the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and surrounding structures.

These images can help us document the appearance of your eyes, identify changes that may need further evaluation, and compare findings over time.

Visual Field Testing

Your peripheral vision provides important information about how your visual system is functioning. Visual field testing measures areas of your vision that may not be detected during a standard vision test.

This testing is commonly used when evaluating and monitoring glaucoma and other conditions that can affect the visual field.

External Ocular Imaging

Detailed images of the outside of the eye and surrounding structures can help us evaluate the ocular surface, eyelids, and other visible findings.

For patients with dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction, imaging can also help us better understand the condition of the ocular surface and meibomian glands.

Why Advanced Testing Matters

Some eye conditions can develop gradually without noticeable changes in your vision. Advanced testing gives us additional information beyond what can be seen or measured during a standard eye examination.

By combining these technologies with a comprehensive exam and your medical and family history, we can establish a baseline, identify changes, and monitor your eyes over time.

Your Results Are Part of the Bigger Picture

No single test tells the whole story. Our doctors consider your symptoms, vision, eye health, examination findings, imaging, and testing together to determine what your eyes need.

Advanced diagnostics may be recommended based on your age, medical history, family history, symptoms, or specific eye-health concerns.

A More Complete Look at Your Eye Health

Whether you're monitoring an existing condition or simply taking a closer look at your eye health, advanced diagnostic testing can provide valuable information about your eyes.
