Retinal Imaging & Photography
Wide Field Imaging
Panoramic retinal photography captures far more area than traditional cameras, helping detect peripheral tears, detachments, and vascular disease. The scan is brief and non-invasive.
Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT creates detailed cross-sectional images of the retina's layers, detecting swelling, fluid, and structural changes. It is non-invasive, requires no contact with the eye, and takes only seconds.
OCT Angiography
OCTA maps blood vessel flow in the retina without any dye injection, supporting evaluation of diabetic retinopathy, vein occlusions, and neovascular AMD. The experience is similar to a standard OCT.
Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF)
FAF imaging highlights areas of retinal stress and cell damage, helping track the progression of geographic atrophy, macular degeneration, and inherited retinal diseases over time.
Angiography Studies
Fluorescein Angiography
A small IV injection of fluorescein dye combined with specialized photography reveals leaks, blockages, and abnormal vessels in the retina. Skin and urine may appear yellowish temporarily after the test.
Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography (IVFA)
IVFA captures real-time images of retinal circulation using a safe intravenous contrast dye, supporting the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, vein occlusions, and macular disease.
Indocyanine Green Angiography
ICG angiography visualizes the deeper choroidal vessels beneath the retina, making it useful for evaluating central serous retinopathy, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and certain AMD presentations.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ophthalmic Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to image the inside of the eye, especially useful when the view is blocked by blood or cataracts. A small probe is placed gently on the eyelid or eye surface. The test is painless.
Dynamic B-Scan Ultrasound
Real-time, motion-based B-scan imaging helps distinguish retinal detachments from vitreous membranes and evaluates movement-related findings that static scans can miss.
Clinical & Specialty Testing
Genetic Testing
Identifies genetic markers associated with inherited retinal conditions through a blood draw or cheek swab. Results typically take several weeks and can guide treatment and family planning.
Amsler Grid Test
A simple at-home visual test that helps patients monitor for early distortion or blind spots linked to macular degeneration, supporting faster follow-up when changes occur.
