Our enhanced eye test uses technology by ZEISS, as well as providing excellent images and screening for pathology they are a great way for Patients to learn how the eye works, imaging the eye using the latest ZEISS technology:
- 200° Ultra wide field retinal photography with the CLARUS 500
- 3D scan of the back of the eye (posterior) using the CIRRUS 6000 OCT
- 3D scan of the front of the eye (anterior) using the CIRRUS 6000 OCT
CLARUS 500 - ultra wide field imaging allows us to view 200° around the eye, this gives an oversight of what it does and how it works:
CIRRUS 6000 - scans the back (posterior) of the eye and provides detailed scans of the back of the eye including the macula and optic nerve head, it can also scan the front (anterior) of the eye.
Using the ZEISS Cirrus HD-OCT we can 3D scan the back of the eye to check for macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic changes and other medical conditions, we also have the ability to scan the front (anterior chamber) of the eye to check that the structure has open angles as well as assessing the corneal thickness (pachymetry). We were the first to have OCT in Fife with the first one being installed in 2009.
