Instruments available
25 instruments for eye tests, scans, laser treatment and surgery — what each one is used for.
LASIK & vision correction
- LASIK EX-500 laser
Excimer laser that reshapes the cornea to correct glasses power.
- Contoura LASIK
LASIK planned from a detailed map of your own cornea.
Cornea mapping & measurements
Pentacam
Photographs the front of the eye to map the cornea's shape and thickness.
Oculyzer
Corneal mapping linked to the laser, used to plan LASIK and Contoura treatment.
Corneal topographer
Maps the curve of the cornea, e.g. to detect astigmatism or keratoconus.
AS-OCT
Scans the front part of the eye — cornea and drainage angle — without touching it.
Pachymeter & biometer
Measure the thickness of the cornea and the length of the eye.
IOL Master
Measures the eye without touching it, to choose the lens power for cataract surgery.
Specular microscope
Counts the cells of the cornea's inner layer, e.g. before cataract surgery.
Cataract & eye surgery
- Infinity phaco system
Phacoemulsification machine for small-incision cataract surgery.
Operating microscope
Gives the surgeon a magnified, well-lit view of the eye during surgery.
Laser & cornea treatment
- YAG laser
Clears clouding behind a lens implant after cataract surgery, and treats some types of glaucoma.
- Green laser
Laser treatment of the retina, e.g. for diabetic retinopathy.
LIO (laser indirect ophthalmoscope)
Delivers retina laser through a head-mounted scope, reaching the far edges of the retina.
- C3R (collagen cross-linking) machine
Strengthens a weak cornea in keratoconus with riboflavin drops and UV light.
IPL (intense pulsed light)
Treats dry eye caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelids.
Retina & glaucoma tests
- OCT
Cross-section scan of the retina and optic nerve, for macula, diabetic and glaucoma care.
OCT angiography
Shows the blood vessels of the retina without a dye injection.
FFA (fundus fluorescein angiography)
Photographs the blood vessels of the retina after a dye injection in the arm.
Fundus camera
Colour photographs of the back of the eye, to record and follow changes.
B-scan & UBM
Ultrasound of the eye when the inside can't be seen directly (e.g. behind a dense cataract); UBM shows the front of the eye in fine detail.
- Perimeter
Tests your side (peripheral) vision — important in glaucoma.
Non-contact tonometer (NCT)
Measures eye pressure with a gentle puff of air.
Eye tests & glasses power
Refraction unit
Workstation for testing glasses power and checking vision.
Autorefractometer
Gives a quick computer reading of glasses power to start the eye test.
