The Role of Technology in Modern Eye Lens Exams

Modern technology has revolutionized eye care, making comprehensive eye exams more efficient, precise, and insightful than ever before. At Anderson Lane Vision Source, we utilize cutting-edge tools to ensure your vision health is thoroughly evaluated, offering early detection and treatment for various eye conditions.


Why Comprehensive Eye Exams Matter

Comprehensive eye exams are not just about updating your prescription; they allow us to assess the health of your eyes and detect potential issues, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, before they become severe. By combining expertise with advanced technology, we provide you with an unparalleled level of care.


Here are some of the advanced diagnostic tools we use at Anderson Lane Vision Source to deliver accurate and detailed assessments of your eye health:


Optomap® Retinal Exam

The Optomap® Retinal Exam is a non-invasive imaging technology that captures ultra-widefield images of the retina. This allows us to detect retinal conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears, detachments, or signs of systemic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. With the Optomap®, we can see up to 80% of your retina in one panoramic image, providing a detailed view that enhances early detection and treatment.


Corneal Topography

Corneal topography maps the curvature of your cornea, the clear outer layer of your eye. This technology is essential for diagnosing and managing conditions like keratoconus, assessing corneal scarring, and ensuring the best fit for specialty contact lenses. The detailed 3D map it produces gives us insights into your corneal health, crucial for those experiencing vision changes or discomfort with standard contact lenses.


Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scan

OCT is a revolutionary imaging technique that provides cross-sectional images of your retina. By capturing these detailed layers, we can detect and monitor conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and glaucoma, often before symptoms manifest. This advanced technology is vital for tracking the progression of eye diseases and tailoring treatment plans.


Digital Retinal Imaging

Digital retinal imaging captures high-resolution images of your retina, offering a clear and comprehensive view of its structure. This technology aids in detecting abnormalities like retinal tears, optic nerve damage, or early signs of cataracts. It allows for better monitoring over time, as we can compare images from past exams to identify subtle changes in your eye health.
