Our Technology
At Dalton Family Eyecare, preemptive care is our priority. We use the latest technology to prevent and manage eye conditions long before they impact your vision.
Early
Detection is Key
Early diagnosis is essential to prevent vision loss from eye care conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration. With annual comprehensive eye exams, our doctors can uncover issues far in advance, ensuring healthy eyes and clear vision for years to come.
HD Imaging
For Earlier Detection
Our advanced imaging technology enables us to not only monitor changes in your vision, but also gain a full understanding of your overall health. Thanks to the optomap, we can thoroughly evaluate your retina without uncomfortable dilation: this helps us detect eye issues and general health issues like stroke and diabetes well before major symptoms show. If we have any concerns, we may turn to other non-invasive equipment, like OCT scans or virtual field headsets, for a deeper view of your retina.
In-Depth
Eye Evaluation
With our modern imaging equipment, we can easily discover stealthy eye issues, such as glaucoma and diabetic neuropathy, which other practices may miss. In addition to optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans, we implement computerized color vision testing, as discolored vision can be a symptom of many conditions. For specialty issues, we use AdaptDx to monitor how quickly your eyes adjust to darkness, Diopsys® to test neurological responses, and pachymetry to measure cornea thickness.
Dry Eye
Treatment
Dry eye disease occurs when the eye doesn’t produce enough tears, or when the quality of the tears is too poor and they evaporate too quickly to lubricate the eye. Dry eye can cause lasting discomfort and irritation, watery eyes, redness, stinging, and blurry vision. To uncover the precise causes of dry eye, we perform a variety of diagnostic tests using meibography, TearLab®, and InflammaDry® equipment. If dry eye is found, we’ll soothe your symptoms fast with a customized MiBo Thermoflo or Blephex treatment.
Accurate
Detection for Every Eye Condition
When it comes to technology, Dalton Family Eyecare adopts only the best of the best. That’s why we use Diopsys® neurological diagnostic technology to get a comprehensive view of your retinal health and detect even the earliest signs of glaucoma and diabetic eye disease.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma results from high pressure within the eye, or intraocular pressure (IOP). This can damage your optic nerve, which sends what you see to your brain. To catch and treat glaucoma before it hinders your vision, we have a wide variety of precise tools and comfortable tests to assess your eye health: Diopsys®, OCT scans, pachymetry, computerized color vision testing, gonioscopy, and S3 scanners help us fully understand your retinal health and determine whether glaucoma management can help.
Diabetic Eye Disease
Blood issues related to diabetes can increase the risk of many eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. To identify diabetic eye issues as soon as possible, we use Diopsys®, computerized color vision testing, and gonioscopy. We also provide clinically-proven EyePromise DVS vitamins to mitigate the effects of diabetic eye disease without affecting blood sugar levels.
Advanced
AMD Detection
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can naturally result from aging: this process wears down the part of the retina essential for clear central vision, the macula. As a leading cause of blindness in people over 50, advanced AMD detection is vital to protect your eyesight. In addition to our optomap and Diopsys® retinal imaging equipment, we offer AdaptDx to identify one of AMD’s earliest symptoms, poor adjustment to changing light conditions, and manage the problem before it impacts your vision.
Myopia
Management
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a common vision error resulting from a misshapen eye. It makes faraway objects appear blurry. Eyewear can bring clear vision, but not treat the underlying problem of irregular eye shape. To correct vision and help slow myopia’s progression, we offer Eyezen™ near vision glasses, atropine eye drops, multifocal contact lenses, and custom-fit orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses worn overnight to painlessly reshape the cornea. These solutions are especially effective for children!
