PATIENT INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY WE USE

At South Coast Eye Specialist Centre, our eye specialists use the latest equipment with state of the art technology. Our eye specialists keep themselves up to date with the latest developments across the globe and bring this latest proven technology to look after the patients at the South Coast Eye Specialist Centre.

A Scan / Pachymeter

A Scan / Pachymeter (IOL Master) � South Coast Eye Specialist Centre has the most advanced machine with the latest software to calculate the power of intraocular lens. Pachymeter checks the central thickness of the cornea which helps determine the true reading of intraocular pressure. Central corneal thickness is associated with the risk of glaucoma progression.

Humphrey Visual Field analyses with the latest software / SWAP

It is a gold standard for the diagnoses and followup of glaucoma. South Coast Eye Specialist Centre has the latest model of this machine with all the recent software to check for glaucoma progression / stability, early diagnosis of glaucoma. It also helps in assessing neurological Diseases with visual field defects.

IOL master with latest software

Fundus camera

It helps us to take good quality digital photos of the back of the eye including retina, optic nerve and blood vessels. It is also used to do the dye test which checks for abnormalities of blood vessels and age macular degeneration. Coloured photos are also helpful to monitor disease progression.

SLT / Yag Laser

Selective laser trabeculoplasty is a very advanced technology to help further lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. It is a safe and painless office procedure.

Yag Laser is used to treat after cataract or posterior capsular opacification which occasionally happens in patients following cataract surgery. This laser is also used to make a tiny hole in the coloured portion of the eye (iris) used to treat a type of glaucoma which can cause painful red eye with a risk of loss of vision. These are done in the rooms under local anaesthesia and are pain free.

Retinal Laser

It is used to help treat diabetic eye disease, retinal tears and venous occlusions. Our eye surgeons use the latest technology which maximises patient safety.

OCT Ocular Coherence Tomography to detect diseases of retina and optic nerve

It is an ultrasonic machine which helps diagnose diseases of retina / optic nerve. Our eye surgeons use the latest state of the art technology to monitor progression of glaucoma and diagnose any swelling / new blood vessels associated with macular degeneration. It is very helpful to monitor the response of lucentis injections in patients of macular degeneration.
