Optomap™ Retinal Exam
We are pleased to inform you that during your next visit to Kirman Eye, you will experience the benefits of the latest technology in eye exams – the Optomap™ Retinal Exam. The Optomap will produce the most comprehensive image of your retina, and allow us to perform a more thorough exam than was previously possible. The result is that we can better prevent or reduce vision loss in our patients with a simple, quick and patient-friendly new exam.

Retinal Tomography (HRT)
This is the most accurate and concise method of analyzing
the optic nerve. The HRT detects subtle changes in optic
nerve anatomy and the nerve fiber layer, which are often
early indications of glaucoma. These changes often occur
before vision loss, making the HRT an invaluable tool for
the detection and treatment of glaucoma.

Automated Visual Field Testing
This equipment detects diseases like glaucoma and macular
degeneration, or problems such as holes or tears in the
retina, which create a visual field loss. This highly sensitive
instrument can detect a loss of visual field before the
patient notices any changes in eyesight.
Corneal Topography
This procedure creates a surface map of the eye.
It is used to aid in the fitting of contact lenses and to
track certain corneal disease processes like keratoconus.
Corneal Topography is also used to document a topographic
map of your cornea prior to refractive surgery, such as
LASIK.
Pachymetry
This instrument
is used to measure corneal thickness. Corneal thickness
measurements are essential for pre LASIK evaluations and
accurate treatment of glaucoma.
Kirman Eye also performs visual field screening on every patient in an effort to detect ocular pathology such as glaucoma, retinal detachment and macular degeneration. Other tests that may be administered, include:
Tonometry checks the pressure found in the eye.
Gonioscopy evaluates the fluid drainage system of the eye.
Biomicroscopy evaluates the surface of the eye in great detail.
Color Vision Testing looks for indication of optic nerve pathology.
Stereopsis
Testing reveals the patient’s ability to
see “3-D” images. It also examines the patient's
ability to use their eyes together.
