Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT technology at VRC allows us to image thin slices of the retina. It is a noninvasive test and takes seconds. It allows our retina specialists to diagnose and treat numerous retinal problems including macular degeneration.This is a non-contact retinal scanning device used to study the anatomy of the retina. It requires dilation of the pupils and takes about 10 minutes.
Optomap Fundus Photography
Optomap Fundus Photography is a camera system developed to take wide angle pictures of the retina. It is non-invasive.OFP produces a 200 degree color view of the back of the eye for studying retinal diseases.
No dilation is required.
B-Scan Ultrasonography
B-Scan Ultrasonography is a non-invasive imaging device for the eye.The resulting image allows a retina specialist to evaluate the retina when there is poor visualization by examination.
This procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.
Fluorescein Angiography
Frequently fluorescein angiography is performed to evaluate retinal disease. A technician will photograph you using a digital camera system. This study requires a small injection of vegetable dye into a vein in your arm. Serial photographs are taken of your retina through a dilated pupil. The test takes approximately 15-20 minutes.Learn about fluorescein angiography from Dr. Pamela Weber of VRC.
ICG Angiography
ICG angiography is used to image choroidal vessels and detect diseases in the choroid. The choroid is a deep, vascular tissue layer behind the retina.
The imaging is done by injecting a tiny amount of dye into an arm vein. Pictures of the eye are then taken with a special camera.
