Diagnosis
Cornea Evaluation
Handy pachymeter — corneal thickness measurement
Seven specialist instruments map the cornea in depth — its shape, thickness, tear film and cell health — before any treatment is planned.
- Slit-lamp imaging
- Pachymetry
- Dry-eye analysis (IDRA)
- Specular microscopy
- Specialty lenses
- ANTERION tomography
In detail — cornea evaluation
Slit lamp with brilliant LED illumination which allows simultaneous visualisation by both doctors and relatives of the patient. It has imaging systems that will capture photos and real time videos of the eye. It helps the Doctors to see the minutest details of the patient’s eye, which includes all the parts of the eye. It is the gold standard for eye examination.
Pachymetry is a procedure to measure the corneal thickness of our eyes. This can be done in two ways: Optical and Ultrasonic of which the ultrasonic measurement is slightly more accurate. This is required in conditions of glaucoma and cornea.
The IDRA is a non-invasive, user-friendly ophthalmic device that analyzes tear film layers, diagnoses dry eye disease, offers automated lipid analysis, and provides 3D demonstrations with documented results and treatment options.
Specular microscopy is a photographic technique that allows you to visualize and analyze the corneal endothelium’s size, shape and population of the endothelial cells. It is useful in conditions like Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy, pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
These are specialized contact lenses which provide excellent visual acuity in cases of Keratoconus.
Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter, gas-permeable lenses designed for individuals with keratoconus, dry eyes, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or irregular corneas.
The ANTERION is an advanced, OCT-based device specifically designed for anterior segment imaging, including corneal tomography. It provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the cornea, as well as detailed measurements of corneal thickness, curvature, and elevation. This helps in diagnosing and managing corneal diseases like keratoconus and planning procedures such as refractive surgeries. The device’s precision allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the cornea, ensuring accurate and reliable assessments.
This is the complete care information published by Mungale Eye Hospital for cornea evaluation. Anything you need beyond it is best discussed in person.
