RETINAL The retina is the neuro-sensory part of the eye. Light energy (photons) are converted to chemical energy which is converted to electrical energy. This electrical energy courses through the brain terminating at the occipital cortex. Eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration and systemic diseases like diabetes, MS, hypertension, HIV, lupus, and TB can cause damage to the delicate retinal structures leading to vision loss. Our state of the art eye clinics offer the most advanced technology to diagnose sight threatening conditions sooner. The GDX VCC allows measurement of the optic nerve tissues. The OIS digital camera system allows us to view the inner structures of the eye. This allows documentation of eye pathologies and gives us the ability to educate you about your eye health. Finally, our Oculus Easy Field and Humphrey FDT visual field machines allow us to measure the nerve pathway as it courses through the brain. This technology can detect eye conditions like glaucoma, but also brain conditions like MS, strokes, and tumors.
