Innovative and Invaluable Technology
Technology keeps moving forward, progressing optometry and allowing further customization of your care and eyewear. Diagnostic technology provides us with more precise measurements to detect early signs of eye disease, offering more treatment and management options.
We’re happy to offer innovative technology to serve you and your family. See how our tools and techniques can improve your experience. Visit us at Urban Optique & Eyecare for comprehensive care powered by a compassionate team and progressive technology.
Why We Invest in Technology
Technology helps us to assess and examine your eyes in high resolution and from multiple angles. It also allows us to track this data over time, so we can compare your most recent scans to your previous images. This helps us detect tiny changes in your eye health that may indicate serious concerns.
For most eye diseases, early detection makes a world of difference for the treatments available to mitigate vision loss and preserve health. Our technology enhances our ability to detect, monitor, and track changes over time, leading to prompt, personalized care.
Eyewear Technology
Glasses are more than a fashion accessory—although there are frames in every style. We want your eyewear to fit you and your unique measurements. So, we invest in technology designed to customize your lenses to help you see better.
The Visioffice system is an interactive measuring tool. The device helps us capture precise, 3D measurements of your eye position and rotation relative to your glasses frames, such as pupil height or the distance between your eyes. Then, we use the custom measurements to manufacture progressive lenses digitally.
Your lenses should match your eye measurements for edge-to-edge accurate vision correction. For example, where your eyes rest when reading can be slightly different from person to person. So, we make sure your lenses match the same comfortable position.
Your lenses are made for you and should accommodate your eye position and measurements for an effortless viewing experience. We use customized proportions to help ensure your progressive lenses offer natural vision.
SynchronEyes Technology uses the separate prescriptions of your left and right eyes to calculate the lenses as a pair. So your lenses are built around both eyes working together. The personalized measurements help with smooth transitions between near and far, so you can focus more easily.
Nanoptix Technology helps provide clearer vision from every viewing angle, eliminating lens distortions and the feeling of being “off-balance.” The customized measurements improve the lens curve so you can feel stable while in motion.
Diagnostic Technology
Many eye and vision problems show few early symptoms and are invisible to the naked eye. Diagnostic technology allows us to take a closer look, to evaluate your eye health, and compare how your eyes change over time. The in-depth and detailed measurements and images help us determine an accurate diagnosis.
We use our technology during comprehensive eye exams to monitor your eye health proactively.
Corneal topography captures a 3D image of the eye’s surface (cornea). The average, healthy cornea has a smooth surface, but it can develop irregular curves, scars, or growths, interfering with vision.
We use corneal topography as a diagnostic and measurement tool to study the cornea’s health and analyze the shape for an individualized contact lens fit.
The process is quick and easy! First, patients face the device—shaped like a large bowl—and stare at a fixed target. Next, we will remind you to take a few blinks before the scan starts, so we can take a picture with your eyes wide open. Then, we can evaluate your results and discuss any treatment necessary, or help you find a lens type appropriate for your eyes.
We use the Optomap Monaco Pro device which combines retinal imaging with OCT scans.
Optomap retinal imaging is a vital part of our eye exams. Optomap allows us to see over 80% of your retina (the light-detecting tissue at the back of your eye). The more we see of the retina tissue inside the eye, the more we can learn about your eye health.
OCT (optical coherence tomography) scans use light waves to map the different layers of your eye. This scan allows us to check the health and thickness of different layers of your eye, from the retina and macular to the optic nerve, helping us detect signs of disease earlier.
Many eye conditions can develop without symptoms. But, even without early symptoms, eye diseases, like diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal tears, can be seen with a thorough examination of the retina.
Both scans are fast, noninvasive, and comfortable for all ages. Patients look into the device (one eye at a time) until a flash of light lets them know the image has been taken.
Our Meibox Gland Analyzer is an excellent tool to assist with the diagnosis of various glandular issues. Meibomian gland dysfunction, a common cause of dry eye, can be detected through the gland analyzer.
Gland atrophy has been found to correlate with as little as 2 hours of screen time a day. We pride ourselves in serving our patients by taking a proactive approach in assessing their meibomian gland health, and the Meibox Gland Analyzer is well-suited for this important duty.
The iCare tonometer takes a careful, precise measurement of your internal eye pressure. This measurement is important in screening for glaucoma, which can develop silently but may cause increased internal pressure.
The tonometer uses a small probe to gently tap the surface of the eye and measure the pressure. It does not need any anesthetic drops or air (it’s not a puff test).
