Some patients with blepharitis have evidence of a micro-organism called demodex. We can visualise under the microscope after we remove an infected eyelash. This helps us confirm the diagnosis and monitor for improvement in your condition. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/5859ccd8f7e0ab537e40b75d/1483516000489/ICare+tonometer.jpg Home - Eye Pressure Measurement Measuring the pressure of the fluid in the eye (IOP) is one of the most important components of an eye examination. Monitoring IOP over time is essential to manage the condition glaucoma. Unlike older technologies that require numbing of the eye or use an uncomfortable jet of air, we employ the newest ICare device which can barely be felt during measurement. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe8b8a79ba19e9ccda3/1483515879081/Takagi-700GL-web.jpg Home - Digital LED Biomicroscope This device is what our therapeutic optometrist Mr Alex Petty uses to examine your eyes under high magnification. Alex's top-of-the-line biomicroscope uses LED illumination and has an advanced Canon SLR camera attached for photography and video of your eye conditions. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe8be6594376309d9ca/1548182568951/Nidek+phoropter.jpg Home - Automated Vision Testing Gone are the days of having your vision and prescription checked at the optometrist with what looks and feels like a medieval instrument of torture. At Bay Eye Care we use computerised charts, remotes and lenses to speed up the process and ensure the measurements we find are as accurate as possible. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe8e4fcb5bac6439097/1483515860085/Nidek+duo.jpg Home - Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) One of the most important technologies developed over the last decade for eye care, an OCT scans the layers of the eye to accurately diagnose and monitor ocular disease and assist with fitting specialty contact lenses. Our advanced device simultaneous takes a digital image of the retinal during scans for improved efficiency. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe8f7e0abe6807b6941/1483515828241/medmont-e300-corneal-topographer-103685_1b.jpg Home - Corneal Topography This machine accurately measures the shape of the front of the eye (the cornea) to help us fit contact lenses, assess dry eye and diagnose and monitor corneal disease such as keratoconus. It is especially useful to monitor the corneal reshaping process when you are fitted with orthokeratology contact lenses. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe7f7e0abe6807b693d/1483515922217/medmont+fields.jpg Home - Visual Fields Assessment In conditions like glaucoma and retinal disease it is very important to be able to measure how well your peripheral vision is working. Although this testing is not thrilling to perform our modern visual field machines make the process as efficient and accurate as possible. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58354c3b579fb34d13e4f975/58559fb0ebbd1a051d965d52/58559fe459cc6819385cd89b/1483936854255/blephex.jpg Home - Blepharitis Microdermal Abrasion Treatment Blepharitis can be a challenging condition to control as the build up of debris on the lash margin can be difficult to remove with treatments at home.
