Abbott Eye Clinic Utilizes Technology in Providing Your Eye Care

• Marco Epic auto-refraction system provides the doctor preliminary data for your examination.
  
  
• Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer—measures peripheral vision. This is helpful in evaluating glaucoma and neurological disease.
  
  
• O.C.T—scans your retina and optic nerve. The OCT is becoming a new standard for evaluating retinal disease and glaucoma.
  
  
  
  
• VISX Smooth Scan Excimer Laser—the LASIK laser. This laser’s software is constantly updated. It is considered by many to be the "gold standard."
  
  
  
• Zeiss Topographer—maps the contour of the cornea. This is a requirement for pre-operative evaluation before LASIK. It is also useful in evaluating corneal disorders.
  
  
• Humphrey Zeiss IOL Master—measures the eye for intraocular lenses prior to cataract surgery. This, too, is a "gold standard" for ophthalmology.
  
  
  
• AMO Soveriegn / White Star phacoemulsifier—a highly efficient, safe system for cataract removal. It uses low energy, cool technology that is kind to the sensitive structures of the eye.
