Envision by Inmode is innovative technology which can be used to treat dry eye, sun spots, wrinkles, droopy eyelids, acne rosacea, chalazions, demodex, and more! It is an excellent alternative to surgery for resolving chalazions and lifting droopy eyelids. This technology has been used for 25-35 years respectively, and (like cell phones) has evolved significantly during that time to provide unprecedented therapy to the delicate tissues around your eyes.

Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT): Our OCT allows the doctor to view the layers of your retinas, which enables her to diagnose retina conditions such as macular edema that cannot be detected with a standard retina camera or dilation. It is also essential in the proper management and assessment of glaucoma. We offer screenings with this new technology to all of our patients in order to provide the most comprehensive eye exam possible - a service which is not available at most optometry offices.

Optos Retina Camera: Our Optos Retina Camera is the newest generation of this technology. It allows the doctor to examine your retinas without dilating your eyes. It can aid in the detection of retina diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal tumors, retinal detachments, and much more. This generation Optos provides a clear image of your retinas all the way out to the periphery. Furthermore, the images are saved to your patient file for reference throughout the years for any changes to the health of your eyes.

Topographer: Our Topographer allows the doctor to view detailed images of your corneas (the front surface of your eyes). This is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal disorders such as keratoconus. It is also essential in the fitting of

Topographer: Our Topographer allows the doctor to view detailed images of your corneas (the front surface of your eyes). This is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal disorders such as keratoconus. It is also essential in the fitting of specialty contact lenses such as scleral lenses and RGPs.

Visual Field Machine: We use our Visual Field Machine to screen side (peripheral) vision on every patient. Visual field testing is sometimes considered a "poor man's MRI" because the test is inexpensive and the results can indicate neurological/brain

Visual Field Machine: We use our Visual Field Machine to screen side (peripheral) vision on every patient. Visual field testing is sometimes considered a "poor man's MRI" because the test is inexpensive and the results can indicate neurological/brain issues. This screening test can enable the doctor to detect life threatening conditions. Furthermore, our visual field machine is essential in the assessment and management of glaucoma.

Autorefractor / Keratometer / Non-Contact Tonometer: This three-in-one screening device allows us to measure the pressures in your eyes to screen for glaucoma with a puff of air which is softer than traditional models. It also measures the curvature

Autorefractor / Keratometer / Non-Contact Tonometer: This three-in-one screening device allows us to measure the pressures in your eyes to screen for glaucoma with a puff of air which is softer than traditional models. It also measures the curvature of your eyes to screen for corneal disorders. Finally, it can provide the doctor with a starting point to determine your glasses and/or contact lens prescription(s).

Tonopen: Our Tonopen allows us to measure the pressure in your eyes more accurately than is possible with the puff of air. This is essential for proper management of glaucoma. It is also easier to use and more comfortable than the traditional Goldman

Tonopen: Our Tonopen allows us to measure the pressure in your eyes more accurately than is possible with the puff of air. This is essential for proper management of glaucoma. It is also easier to use and more comfortable than the traditional Goldman Tonometer "blue light" test. Many patients even prefer this over the puff of air!
