Eye Health Technology, New York, NY
At Dr. Gary Tracy Optometry & Eyewear near the Lincoln Center and the Beacon Theatre, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest level of eye health and vision care. As part of this commitment, we continually invest in cutting-edge eye health technology, allowing us to deliver accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for every individual’s unique visual needs.
Here are some of the advanced eye health technologies we use:
Digital retinal imaging
Digital retinal imaging captures high-resolution images of the back of your eye, including the retina and optic nerve. This non-invasive procedure allows us to detect and monitor various eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. It enables our optometrists to assess the health of your eyes in detail, facilitating early detection and intervention.
Corneal mapping
Corneal mapping, also known as corneal topography, is a painless procedure that measures the curvature and shape of your cornea. This technology helps us diagnose and manage conditions like astigmatism, keratoconus, and corneal irregularities. By obtaining precise measurements of your cornea, we can also determine the most suitable contact lenses or refractive surgery options for your visual needs.
Autorefractor
Autorefractors provide highly accurate measurements used to determine your exact eyeglasses prescription. This allows our optometrists to ensure that your glasses meet your specific vision needs. With years of experience in working with performers, musicians, artists, and authors on the vibrant Upper West Side, our team knows how to tailor the refraction process to the unique needs of our patients. Whether you’re a performer who relies on sharp vision for stage presence or an artist who requires precise visual acuity for creating intricate masterpieces, we can customize the refraction process to your specific requirements.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of your eye’s structures. This technology allows us to detect various eye conditions early on, including retinal diseases and optic nerve disorders. With OCT, we can detect subtle abnormalities that may not be visible during a regular eye exam, enabling early intervention and improved treatment outcomes.
Visual field testing
Visual field testing helps us evaluate your peripheral vision and detect any abnormalities or blind spots. By mapping your visual field, we can diagnose and monitor conditions such as glaucoma, optic nerve damage, and neurological disorders. Our computerized perimetry equipment provides accurate and reliable results, aiding in the early detection of vision loss.
