Fundoscopy
During fundoscopy, the ophthalmologists check the optic nerve and more specifically its size, morphology and cupping. The existence of a larger than normal cupping or an asymmetrical cupping between the eyes may be a sign of glaucoma and needs to be ...Uveitis Diagnosis
The diagnosis of uveitis is carried out following a careful analysis of the patient’s ocular and systemic history and a clinical examination. In certain cases, hematologic, biochemical and radiological tests may be required to rule out infections or ...Measurement of Endothelial Cells
In our clinic, the measurement of endothelial cells is an integral part of the preoperative evaluation for the cataract surgery. This examination measures the diameter, morphology and number of endothelial cells.Fundoscopy
Fundoscopy is the examination of the interior part of the eye and is performed with the help of special contact lenses.It is an equally significant diagnostic test as its findings can give us an estimate of the degree of vision the patient can ha...Patient biometrics
For the exact calculation of the dioptric strength of the intraocular lens, the calculation of the axial length of the eye is required.In our Same Day Clinic, the axial length is calculated either through non-contact biometrics or through cla...Patient’s Refraction
The measurement of the eye’s refractive state is carried out with the automatic kerato-refractometer during the preoperative evaluation.Optical Coherence Tomography of The Optic Disc and the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer
OCT utilizes a technique that is known as optical coherence tomography. This examination creates a topographic map of the head of the optic nerve and its cupping and measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer. It helps the detection of e...Visual fields
During this examination, the patient is requested to look straight ahead where light points of various intensity are projected for a map of the patient’s visual field to be drawn. This examination records the percentage of nerve fibers that have been...Gonioscopy
Gonioscopy is a painless eye examination, whereby the iridocorneal angle is assessed. The angle may be open or closed, suggesting the existence of open-angle or angle-closure glaucoma respectively.Tonometry
Tonometry is the method used for the measurement of the intraocular pressure of the eye.Initially, local anesthetic drops are applied on the surface of the eye. Then the ophthalmologist measures the pressure of the eye using a Goldmann tonome...12
