At Margaret River Optical, we have invested in the most up to date technology to enable the earliest detection of eye disease and the best visual outcome for your vision requirements.
This cutting-edge technology captures a comprehensive set of your physiological and behavioral parameters, ensuring the most accurate fit and optimal lens performance.
Retinal photography is a non-invasive imaging technique used to capture detailed images of the retina. This method is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring a variety of eye conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.
Advanced retinal photography systems, like the DRSplus confocal imaging system, utilize LED illumination to enhance image clarity and speed. These high-resolution images allow early detection of disease, monitor changes over time, and provide personalised care.
Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique which uses low-coherence light to capture 2 and 3 dimensional images of the individual layers of the retina.
Combined with retinal photography, this aids earlier detection, more precise diagnosis and monitoring of many eye conditions, including glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
