Sight Test

Vision Analysis
The VX 120 is a unique, complete, and fully automatic diagnostic screening device. It features variations of refraction, screening for glaucoma, cataracts, corneal conditions such as keratoconus and fitting of contact lenses with integrated topography.

The aim of the sight test is to do some ‘detective work’ to give you the best possible vision by working out the optimum prescription of the eye. This is very important for your glasses or to a certain extent your Contact Lenses.

Eye pressure measurement

Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT)  is considered the gold standard for measuring eye pressure. GAT is considered to be the most accurate  way of measuring and monitoring your eye pressure. This test does not require the puff of air used by many high street opticians

Digital Slit Lamp Biomicrospy

To accurately view the interior and exterior of the eye in 3D we use slit lamp indirect biomicroscopy – a technique which involves specialist skills and an advanced piece of equipment to view most of the interior aspect of the internal eye.
This method can help us identify leakage of blood, holes, tears and detachments far more accurately than traditional methods (hand held instrument) of looking inside the eye. The digital slit lamp biomicrospy also aids detection of diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, papilloedema (cranial pressure build up), macula degeneration, hypertension and many other conditions.
