Technology
Pentacam Corneal Topographer
The physicians at Eye Physicians and Surgeons of Augusta can now perform ultra-precise
topographical analysis of the cornea, the watch crystal of the eye. While corneal topography has
been around for 18 years, the Pentacam corneal topographer is an incredible advancement
of this technology, allowing improved diagnosis and treatment of corneal disease.
Anyone who is interested in LASIK or other types of corneal refractive surgery should have
Pentacam analysis to determine if they are acceptable candidates for surgery.
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): Glaucoma and Retina
The new OCT incorporates optical coherence tomography technology to provide comprehensive high resolution
imaging of the eye. The cross sectional imaging allows for state of the art management of glaucoma
and retinal disease. The OCT provides serial analysis reports that demonstrate any change in a
patient's glaucoma or retinal disease. By employing the latest technology at Eye Physicians and
Surgeons, we can determine if a patient's glaucoma has changed to help prevent loss of vision.
IOL Master
To obtain the most precise and accurate measurements prior to cataract surgery,
Eye Physicians and Surgeons of Augusta, P.C. performs pre-operative measurements
and calculates the power of the intraocular lens to be implanted by utilizing the latest
"no touch" technology called the IOL (Intraocular Lens) Master.
