SLIT LAMP
The slit lamp is a stereoscopic bio microscope that projects a concentrated beam of light with adjustable height, width, and angle. This versatile tool enables three-dimensional visualization and measurement of the detailed structures of the eye’s adnexa and anterior segment. With the use of handheld lenses, it is also possible to examine the posterior segment. A gonioscopic contact lens facilitates the observation of the iridocorneal angle. Consequently, the slit lamp is an essential component of a thorough eye examination, allowing ophthalmologists to assess every anatomical part of the eye. Our OPD is well equipped with 5 functioning OPD rooms with slit lamps attached.
SPECULAR MICROSCOPY CELL CHEK-D
A specular microscope is an advanced instrument designed to closely examine the corneal endothelium at high magnification. This high-resolution assessment allows for a detailed evaluation of the cornea’s health and structure. Such precise information is essential in determining the best surgical or therapeutic approach for individual patients, ensuring tailored and effective treatment plans. The Konan system further advances the field of specular microscopy by offering enhanced capabilities for a swift and accurate appraisal of corneal conditions. This system is particularly valuable for assessing the most challenging corneas, providing clinicians with critical insights that guide optimal patient care. Its ability to deliver rapid results without compromising accuracy makes it an indispensable tool in both routine preoperative and complex ophthalmologic evaluations. We have Cell Check D specular microscope available in our department.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):
It is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that renders an in vivo cross-sectional view of the anterior segment of eye and retina .It is used to evaluate for eye diseases. OCT can help diagnose and manage diseases of the retina, optic nerve, cornea and macular diseases like age-related macular degeneration, a part of the retina called the macula when is damage causes loss of central field of vision.
Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer:
It is widely used to detect the damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma subjects. Visual field tests are useful for detection of central or peripheral retinal disease, eyelid conditions as ptosis or drooping, optic nerve disease, and diseases affecting the visual pathways within the brain. Indications for visual field testing include visual field deficits, vision loss, headache, and neurologic deficits. Patients with the above ocular conditions should undergo regular visual field testing to monitor progression.
