Glaucoma Las Vegas

At the Las Vegas Eye Institute we have sophisticated testing machinery that allows accurate diagnosis of the disease and careful monitoring of the disease to ensure that progression is not occurring. We utilize the latest spectral domain OCT nerve fiber and ganglion cell complex analysis to get an accurate baseline and then we can carefully analyze this data periodically. Next we create a color image your optic nerve utilizing the Centervue Compass that uses state-of-the-art scanning laser ophthalmoscopy imaging technology to capture accurate and sharp images even in the presence of media opacities such as cataracts. Finally, we perform visual field testing with the latest Centervue technology in which your retina is imaged throughout the entire test. This is very important because the device can then adjust the location of its projections so that we can get an incredibly accurate and reproducible measurement of your visual field even in the presence of eye movement. Dr. Swanic has had visual field tests performed on his own eyes so he knows how difficult this test can be to take. Las Vegas Eye Institute is excited to offer this state-of-the-art technology that can help you achieve optimal outcomes.

This allows us to instantly load and compare data captured years ago in a fraction of a second compared to flipping back and forth between old printouts in a paper chart. We then use all of this data to help you understand if starting or altering treatment is necessary.
