| Perkins Hand Held Tonometer
The Perkins hand held Tonometer is the standard of care for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). This pressure is important in determining the pressure in the anterior chamber of the eye. If the IOP is >22 then you may be at risk for this sight threatening eye disease.

| Nikon Autorefractor
The Nikon Autorefractor is the most accurate way of assessing the refractive status of the eye in mobile eyecare. The refractive state of the eye determines how light focuses in the eye. This instument allows accurate measurement for a correct prescription of eye glasses.

| Microscopes
Dr. Smith uses two types of battery-operated microscopes to observe structures of the front of the eye. That allows him to see indications of dry eye, scratches, cataracts, scars, infections, and broken blood vessels.

| Volk Pictor Portable Digital Imaging System
We are the only eye clinic in Tampa that utilizes this technology. This digital technology is the latest in imaging. By changing the lenses, Dr. Smith is able to capture images on the front and back of the eye. The unit is mobile and allows Dr. Smith the ability to take images in a off-site location such as a nursing facility or school. By having this technology, we are able to capture, store, and compare subsequent pictures.

Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope
A binocular indirect opthalmoscope is a head mounted microscope that is used by Dr. Kevin Smith in the office and in mobile settings to evaluate the retina. In particular, the microscope is used to detect retinal detachments and other sight threatening abnormalities of the peripherial retina.
Optical Trial Lens Kit
We use a optical trial lens kit to ascertain the visual acuity of an eyeglass prescription. The eye glass prescription is initially obtained by the Nikon hand-held Autorefractor and then trial lenses are pulled from the kit.
