Zeiss Visufit 1000 – Precision Eyewear Fitting
We proudly offer the Zeiss Visufit 1000, a cutting-edge digital platform that revolutionises the eyewear fitting process. This system utilises nine high definition cameras to capture a 180° 3D view of your face in a single shot, processing 45 million data points to ensure precise measurements for optimal lens centration and frame selection Zeiss.
Key features include:
· 3D Facial Scanning: Accurately captures facial parameters for a personalised fit.
· Virtual Try On: Allows you to digitally try on frames, enhancing your selection experience.
· Digital Centration: Ensures precise alignment of lenses to your visual needs.
· Frame Comparison: Facilitates side-by-side evaluation of different styles and fits.
OCULUS Dry Eye Suite
Our OCULUS Dry Eye Suite enables us to diagnose and treat dry, irritated eyes by conducting a detailed analysis of tear film quality, meibomian gland function and corneal health. With precise tear film evaluation and corneal staining techniques, we can accurately identify the root causes of dry eye conditions.
Additional Diagnostic Technologies
We also utilise other advanced technologies to provide comprehensive eye care:
· Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Allows for early detection of ocular diseases by capturing high resolution images of the retina.
· Corneal Topography: Maps the curvature of the cornea to assist in fitting contact lenses and diagnosing corneal conditions.
· Automated Perimetry: Assesses the visual field to detect early signs of glaucoma and other neurological conditions.
If you have any questions about our technology or would like to book a consultation, please contact our stores Central Coast Eyecare located in Gosford, Erina, Budgewoi, or Killarney Vale. We are here to provide you with the highest standard of eye care.
Examples of Our Technology
The technology available at each of our offices includes the following:
OCULUS Dry Eye Suite:
This technology encompasses cutting-edge diagnostic tools for in-depth analysis of tear film, corneal health and meibomian glands. It enables precise evaluation of tear quality, quantity and stability, essential for identifying dry eye causes. Corneal Staining techniques are used to detect areas of damage or dryness on the cornea. Our tailored treatment plans, based on specific dry eye conditions and contributing factors, ensure highly personalised care, including advanced in-office therapies like IPL therapy and LipiFlow.
Digital Retinal Photography:
Our technology offers in-depth retinal analysis, capturing detailed images of the retina for a more comprehensive view than traditional methods. With instant results, you can discuss your retinal images with your optometrist. Comparing images from different years helps detect changes over time, guiding treatment decisions. Digital retinal photography can prove beneficial for patients with conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):
OCT enables retinal imaging precision by creating cross-sectional or 3D images of the retina. It is used for early disease detection, identifying eye problems even before symptoms manifest and allowing for timely intervention. OCT can detect macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. It also unveils hidden conditions that cannot be seen with standard examinations, all while being non-invasive and safe for visualising underlying layers of the eye.
Corneal Topography:
Our technology enables us to conduct corneal topography, a precise mapping process for the cornea’s surface curvature. Cornea assessment involves mapping the curvature of the clear front membrane (cornea) responsible for significant focusing power. Our technology creates a detailed three-dimensional map of the cornea’s shape, aiding in diagnosing, monitoring and treating various visual conditions. It also identifies visual aberrations like astigmatism, keratoconus and corneal dystrophies that impact vision.
Automated Perimetry:
Utilising the Humphrey Field Analyser (HFA), we can provide automated perimetry assessments. This involves assessing the visual field, detecting blind spots (scotomas) and other visual field defects that may indicate eye and brain issues. The size and shape of scotomas provide insights into the presence and severity of eye, optic nerve and brain conditions. Automated perimetry may identify visual field defects related to conditions such as glaucoma, retinal diseases, optic neuropathy, brain tumours and stroke.
Potential Benefits of Our Technology
Because we at Central Coast Eyecare leverage advanced technology, you may be able to receive the following benefits when you visit us:
- Early Problem Detection: Our technology can pinpoint visual field defects as early indicators of potential eye and brain disorders, allowing for prompt intervention when needed.
- Disease Insights: By analysing the shape and size of blind spots, our technology provides valuable diagnostic insights, aiding in the identification of various eye and brain-related conditions.
- Comprehensive Assessment: Because our technology can produce meticulous data relating to your eye health, we will be in a better position to tailor accurate and effective treatment plans.
- Baseline Comparisons: Establishing a baseline with our technology enables ongoing monitoring of changes in the visual field over time, helping detect and address issues as they evolve.
- Timely Treatments: Our technology helps to quicken the testing process without compromising on accuracy. This can, in turn, eliminate hassle and save you time.
We make sure that all the equipment we use adheres to industry standards.
