Technology

Manchester Eye Care is committed to offering each of our patients the finest in eye care.  One way we do this is by offering the most up-to-date technology available.

Regular detailed examination of the inside of the eye – the retina, is critical to eye health.  Because seeing the entire retina is so important to Manchester Eye Care, we have invested in the most advanced camera for ultra-widefield photography – the Optos California.  In a single, quick shot, the camera produces high resolution “Optomap” photos of 82% of the retina without the need for a dilation.  These Optomap images provide superior visibility of the retinal periphery allowing us to see, document, show you and follow potential pathology that could not be seen with traditional methods.  The Optomap exam is quick and painless and combined with the thorough eye exams Dr. Secoy provides, this advanced technology offers a new level of diagnostic confidence.  We are proud to be able to offer this service to our patients.

Manchester Eye Care uses an innovative Total Digital Refraction System that helps us to better evaluate your unique visual needs.  The system allows Dr. Secoy to perform additional tests and to compare your old and new prescriptions very quickly.  You will notice that it’s easier for you to tell, “Which is better-1 or 2?”  The entire exam procedure will be faster and more comfortable for you.  Our entire staff understands our obligation to offer the best available care to our patients.  Our job is to make your vision as close to perfect as we can, and this state-of-the-art digital refractor allow Dr. Secoy to achieve the most accurate prescription to help you see your best.

Manchester Eye Care offers Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) testing. OCT is a powerful test that can help Dr. Secoy identify and manage eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy earlier in the disease process. The OCT test scans the structures in the back of the eye. Once the scan is complete, the test generates a highly detailed, cross-sectional image of the back of the eye that allows Dr. Secoy to see beneath the surface of your retina, the tissue of your eye that is responsible for your vision.  It is a quick and painless procedure.  Manchester Eye Care utilizes the iScan OCT.  With the iScan, we are able to perform the iWellness exam which is described in the video below.

Manchester Eye Care offers the latest advancement in digital retinal photography, the Eidon. The Eidon is a fully automated, state-of-the-art diagnostic tool which provides you and Dr. Secoy a detailed view of your retina…the tissue in your eye that is responsible for your vision.  The Eidon is a special camera that takes an extremely detailed picture of the inside of your eye to reveal the internal structures of your eye. It’s non-invasive and totally pain-free. These magnified pictures enable Dr. Secoy to monitor and compare the internal health of your eyes from year-to-year, which facilitates early detection of any potential problems. Digital photographs will not only uncover potential eye disorders, but also issues which affect your overall well-being, such as diabetes and hypertension.

The VisuALL is an automated virtual reality visual field analyzer designed for assessment of the visual field. VisuALL automatically analyzes the retinal sensitivity in patients with glaucoma and other vision or neurological disorders. Patients can be tested in virtually any position and the test is generally quicker than traditional visual field testing.  The compact design and hygienic face cushion enables a very comfortable experience for the patient.

ionThe iON imaging system redefines anterior eye imaging by combining a new intra-optics beam-splitter/camera adapter with the tremendous computing and imaging power of the latest Apple technology. Together they create a highly sophisticated imaging system that emphasizes image quality, simplicity, and efficiency.  This system helps diagnose, treat, and educate patients about conditions that affect the front of the eye.

One of the most dreaded procedures when visiting an eye doctor seems to be the puff of air into the eyes.  The anticipation is torture for most patients, so Manchester Eye Care now offers the Icare tonometer as an option for measuring eye pressure.  The Icare tonometer is based on a proven accurate measuring principle, in which a very light probe is used to make momentary and gentle contact with the cornea. The measurement is barely noticed by the patient and requires no drops.  The device makes eye pressure measuring a more pleasant experience.

The Corneal Analyzer is a comprehensive corneal topographer allowing for the complete evaluation of the anterior corneal surface. In addition to allowing Dr. Secoy to manage diseases of the cornea, such as keratoconus, it has advanced features to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease.
