The optomap® retinal image offers many advantages including:
• An ultra-widefield view of the retina • Comfortable and quick image capture • Non-invasive • Helps you understand your eye health • Provides permanent records for future comparison • The optomap® technology does not require pupil dilation, however the decision to dilate or not is a medical decision to be made by your health care professional • Patient can resume normal activities immediately.

The Stratus OCT incorporates optical coherence tomography technology to provide comprehensive imaging and measurement of glaucoma and retinal disease. Stratus OCT is the gold standard in vivo imaging device for the posterior segment and offers proven reproducibility for disease management.

We also offer CRT lenses.
Corneal Refractive Therapy is a non-surgical process clinically developed to reshape the cornea while you sleep. The result is the temporary correction of myopia with or without moderate astigmatism. Similar in appearance to standard contact lenses, Paragon CRT therapeutic lenses gently reshape the corneal surface during sleep to provide clear, natural vision when the lenses are removed upon waking.
