“If you have, or have a family history of, Glaucoma or Ocular hypertension having your sight tested by a specially trained optometrist is the best way for your to protect your sight.
At i care opticians all our optometrists specialise in glaucoma, have undertaken post graduate study and are provided with state of the art equipment.”
Eye Pressure
We check your pressures using the Zeiss i care tonometer or the Goldmann. We do not use the “Puff of air test”
By using these more advanced tools we gain accurate results whihc we and the local hospitals can rely on.
Visual Fields
i care are proud to have a state of the art Humphrey Field Analyser. This equipment enables our optical to accurately identify visual field loss and monitor for change. These a results are vital in the diagnosis and the treatment of both Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma.
Optic Nerve Assessment
Glaucoma is the progressive loss of nerve fibres at your optic nerve. At i care we monitor your optic nerve using OCT technology enabling our optometrist to identify the any possible sign of glaucoma developing or changing. We also assess the nerve fibres at your macula (the centre part of your eye), as this can help us identify glaucoma at an earlier stage.
