Our Technology

At Dickens and Herd our Eye Examination Technology includes

Digital Photography

"A picture tells a thousand words". Recent technological advancements in eyecare now enable us to capture a digital image of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve located at the back of your eyes. This simple, painless test takes a few minutes to complete and aids in early detection and management of diseases that can affect both your eyes and overall health. This includes glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and hypertension.

Corneal Topography

Computerised corneal topography allows us to take a video image of reflections from the cornea and derive the shape and regularity of the surface.

Field of Vision

Some eye conditions, such as glaucoma, will affect peripheral vision long before central vision is reduced. The most accurate evaluation of your peripheral vision is with computerised perimetry to measure the sensitivity of your field of vision.
