Dry Eye Treatment

Dr. Priya’s commitment to provide her patients with the most advanced testing and treatment options brings you the exclusive dry eye clinic. You may have dry eye disease if you are experiencing stinging, burning, fatigued, light sensitive, itchy, scratchy, excessive watering or the feeling of “having something in the eyes”.

Eyes are lubricated by tears normally produced by glands located under the upper eyelids and lubricate the eye at each blink. Insufficient tears result in the eye not being sufficiently nourished or lubricated resulting in a chronic condition called Dry Eye. As tears keep the surface of the eye smooth, washing away any foreign matter in the eye and reducing the risk of eye infection. A Dry eye condition is often time chronic and requires immediate testing and treatment.
Shown here is an advanced testing device called a Keratograph. Eye Openerz is the only clinic in Naples equipped with this advanced testing device. The testing procedure is non-invasive and painless. Make an appointment today and get tested for Dry eye at Dr. Priya’s Dry Eye Clinic!

ADVANCED TESTING LAB

RETINAL PHOTOGRAPHY

The Optomap, is state-of-the-art testing device that provides a set of enhanced ultra-widefield digital retinal images of your retina, within a few minutes. This screening method which entails getting high-resolution digital images of the inside of the eye, captures an image of more than 80% of your retina, and is especially important for individuals with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, retinal diseases, or strong glasses prescriptions due to higher risk of retinal disorders such as Glaucoma.

Visual Field Testing

Visual field testing tests for horizontal and vertical range of peripheral vision. The test helps analyze the presence of potential blind spots which may be symptoms for a host of conditions ranging from eye diseases to brain disorders. For instance, Glaucoma-induced optic nerve damage is associated with a specific visual field defect. On the other hand, brain abnormalities such as those caused by tumors can be detected by a visual field test. Hence, this test s a critical test in the care regimen.

Optical Coherence Tomography Scans

An Optical Coherence Tomography scan (commonly referred to as an OCT scan) is the latest advancement in imaging technology. Similar to ultrasound, this diagnostic technique uses light rather than sound waves to achieve higher resolution pictures of the structural tissues of the back of the eye. A noninvasive, painless test, it works using light without radiation and is similar to a CT scan of the eye. And is essential for early diagnosis of Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic retinal disease and conditions such as retinal detachment.

OCULUS Keratograph for Dry Eye Testing

The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M is an advanced non-invasive device for corneal topography and dry eye analysis. It is a corneal topographer with a built-in real keratometer and a color camera optimized for external imaging providing high-definition color images and video of the eye. It helps examine the meibomian glands, non-invasive tear film break-up time and the tear meniscus height measurement and evaluates the lipid layer.
