The VISION Experience
Our Examination
At VISION we do a comprehensive eye test which includes distance and near vision, explanation of your prescription error and also an Zeiss i.profiler measurement. We also examine the health of your eyes to exclude any pathology.
Retinal Images
Examining the retina for early signs of disease like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, to name a few, is essential for good eye health.
Glaucoma
A gradual painless loss of vision. We pride ourselves with having technology capable of early detection of this insidious disease process. We have in our arsenal of machines, including the OCT, which is vital in early diagnosis of glaucoma.
Visual fields
We have the ability to asses the visual field in a few minutes; this is pivotal in gauging the health of the peripheral retina and Optic nerve.
Keratoconus
We excel in specialised contact lenses which are indicated in conditions like keratoconus. Part of this success is our ability to accurately measure the shape of the corneal surface with a topographer so that we can choose the best option for your eye. These options include rigid gas permeable lenses (hard lenses), hybrid lenses (combination hard/soft lenses) and scleral lenses.
