How does diagnostic ophthalmic technology at City Eye Centre help detect your eye conditions early? Ophthalmic technology has advanced at an extremely rapid rate in recent times. Innovative eye imaging technology such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A) is now an integral part of comprehensive eye care.
At City Eye Centre, we utilize the latest scanning instruments to examine your eyes and provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and treatment. Our OCT Plex Elite, one of the few in Australia, provides ultra-high resolution cross-sectional images of the eye to assist in the diagnosis of a wide range of retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, central serous retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
Our ultra-widefield fundus photography and fluorescein angiography allow 200º of the retina to be imaged. The ability to document your eye health through these special cameras allows our doctors to detect early changes, make prompt diagnosis and monitor your condition in the most comprehensive way. This is of particular importance in peripheral retinal diseases, in patients who are short-sighted or have suffered from eye trauma in the past. For patients needing a thorough eye scan in Brisbane, our centre provides unparalleled imaging technologies.
Our eye specialists remain at the forefront of clinical advances. They are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of eye care through the latest technological developments. What the doctors see on the scans from your diagnostic imaging can also help in the detection of general health conditions. In these instances, our doctors will liaise with your GPs or other medical specialists. This will result in prompt diagnosis and treatment.
