Fundus Photography

A fundus photograph is a specialized form of medical imaging. Using a customized camera with high-powered lenses that are mounted to a microscope, photographs are taken of the back of the eye by focusing light through the cornea, pupil and lens. Fundus photographs are used to identify or monitor a wide variety of ophthalmic conditions.

To begin the process, the pupil is dilated with eye drops. The patient will be asked to stare at a fixed device, keeping the eyes focused and still. There will be a series of flashes of light. The process usually takes no more than 10 minutes.

Some of the ophthalmic conditions fundus photography is used for include:
  • Glaucoma
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Macular edema
  • Microaneurysm
  • Optic nerve
Fundus photography has also been used to interpret the results of a fluorescein angiography.
B-Scan
B-scan is a high-frequency ocular ultrasound that produces a cross-sectional image of the eye and the space behind the eye.

Purpose of the B-Scan
The B-scan enables eye care professionals to accurately diagnose and evaluate a wide range of eye conditions including:
  • Cataracts
  • Retinal detachment
  • Tissue damage
  • Inflammation
  • Vitreous Hemorrhage
  • Tumor
  • Suspected foreign body
  • Eye trauma
  • Eye pain
  • Lens dislocation
Advantages of the B-Scan

The B-scan provides numerous advantages over comparable ocular imaging systems. They include:
  • Images of the eye can be obtained from all patients
  • Accurate results
  • Painless procedure
The accuracy of B-scan imaging allows eye care professionals to precisely determine the severity of the patient's condition, ensuring that patients receive the care they need.
Perimetry/Visual Field Analysis
Perimetry, or visual field analysis, is another method of evaluating a patient's visual function. This is a way to measure a person's visual field, or exactly what amount of space that person can see when they hold a fixed gaze in a particular direction. There are several types of testing used for visual field analysis. Some of these are performed manually by a trained professional, and are conducted on a computer. All of these methods can be effectively used to diagnose limitations within the visual field.
