Using state-of-the-art technology, our experienced ophthalmologists provide precise, painless procedures to help safeguard your vision.
Applanation Tonometry: Accurate Intraocular Pressure Measurement
Applanation Tonometry is a diagnostic procedure designed to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) accurately by flattening a small part of the cornea and determining the pressure required. It’s a standard and highly effective method in glaucoma screening and monitoring. This test, performed quickly and comfortably, allows us to detect elevated IOP levels, which are often a key indicator of glaucoma and other eye conditions.
Benefits of Applanation Tonometry:
- Highly Accurate: Considered the gold standard in IOP measurement, it provides precise pressure readings.
- Quick and Painless: The procedure is efficient and comfortable, requiring only a few moments to complete.
- Essential for Glaucoma Detection: Early identification of high IOP helps in timely treatment, reducing the risk of glaucoma progression and vision loss.
Laser Treatments for Glaucoma and Other Eye Conditions
In addition to diagnostic services like Applanation Tonometry, we also provide a range of laser treatments to help manage and treat eye conditions effectively:
-
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): Used to treat open-angle glaucoma, SLT targets specific cells in the eye’s drainage system to improve fluid outflow and reduce IOP without causing damage to surrounding tissues.
-
Laser Iridotomy: A treatment often recommended for narrow-angle or angle-closure glaucoma. This procedure creates a small opening in the iris to improve fluid drainage and relieve pressure.
-
Laser Capsulotomy: For patients with clouding after cataract surgery, this procedure clears the lens capsule to restore clear vision.
