Advanced Technology Meets Experienced Clinical Care
During an emergency eye exam, our doctors combine traditional clinical techniques with advanced diagnostic technology to get a clearer picture of what’s happening. This may include Optomap® ultra-widefield retinal imaging, 3D OCT scans, and virtual visual field testing when needed. These tools help us assess the front and back of the eye in greater detail, document what we see, and show you the images so you can better understand your diagnosis and treatment plan.
