Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
The state-of-art machine in high-resolution imaging technology with the latest softwares for rapidly analyzing the micro-anatomy and structural pathology in the macular area (the most vital central part of the retina in the back of the eye), the optic nerve and the nerve fibre layer of the retina. Somewhat comparable to a CT-Scan but of much higher resolution (to the tune of a few micrometers).
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)
This imaging technology captures & documents elegantly the minute circulatory physiology and vascular pathology in the retina, in pictures and live-video form through a high-resolution fundus camera with advanced software after injecting a dye in a vein of the patient’s hand. Somewhat comparable to a coronary angiography but a much simpler (though more refined) procedure and provides insight to numerous diseases in the eye.
Ultrasonography (B-Scan & Vector A-Scan)
The ultrasound machine detects abnormalities like detachments of the retina or choroid, hemorrhage or infection in the vitreous cavity, foreign bodies lodged in the eye, changes in the space behind the eye(orbit) in a quick & simple way, particularly when the pathology cannot be directly. At Retina Hospital, Ultrasonography is done by the Retina Surgeon himself for better information.
Non-contact Tonometry
This machine measures the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) of the patient’s eyes in a comfortably and consistently in a rapid and automated way without touching the eye. This Pneumotonometer helps in detecting primary and secondary glaucoma (eye disease with high intraocular pressure) which otherwise may go unnoticed.
Primary Ophthalmic Diagnostic infrastructure
Autorefractometer, motorized ophthalmic Chair-units, Slit-lamp biomicroscopes, Applanation tonometer, a wide-range of diagnostic lenses, Indirect ophthalmoscopes and multiple custom-designed patient examination chambers make up the routine out-patient infrastructure at Retina Hospital in addition to the advanced equipment shown above.
