Our Whole Health Approach to Eye Care

When you visit Eyecare Plus, your visual health is our top priority. Taking care of your vision involves more than wearing the right prescription. That’s why we use key diagnostic and treatment technology that enhances our level of care. 

Our technology helps us to perform comprehensive health exams, including high-resolution images of the front and back of the eye, measure your eye function, and screen for dry eye

Learn more about how we use our technology in your eye exam to support your visual health now and in the future. Whether you’re a new or returning patient, we’re here to answer any questions you have. Contact us or book your eye exam today.

Our iWellness Package

We offer the iWellness Package as an additional screening measure during eye exams. The package includes both optos retinal imaging and the iVue OCT scan, which take in-depth pictures and scans of important eye structures. You can add the iWellness Package to your eye exam for just $49.

The scans included in the iWellness Package allow us to check for small changes in your eye structure that might indicate eye disease. Through high-resolution images, cross-sections of the retina, and scans of front eye structures (cornea, lens, and iris), we can get a clear picture of your overall eye health without dilation.

Note: In some cases, dilation may be deemed necessary. Your optometrist will provide guidance should you need dilation.

Dark Adaptation Testing for AMD

Age-related macular degeneration is a condition that affects central vision. We use a dark adaptometer to measure how quickly your eyes adapt to darkness, a key metric indicating AMD. This test allows us to check for AMD at its earliest stage, often before any noticeable symptoms or vision loss.

We offer a free AMD screening for all our patients 50+ as part of their eye exam. If you are diagnosed with AMD, we’ll do more extensive testing as well.

RETeval Tests for Eye Function

We use the RETeval device to check your eye function. The device measures the time it takes for light to be processed by the retina and transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. This checks that your eyes are functioning at a normal speed and strength.

The RETeval device helps us detect retina and optic nerve diseases, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. It also provides a baseline for tracking the progression of these eye diseases and determining if treatments are effective.

Dry Eye Treatment Technology

Dry eye disease is a condition that causes uncomfortable symptoms, including gritty, red, and irritated eyes. We can help relieve your symptoms through our full-service dry eye clinic. From your diagnosis and determining the cause to finding treatments that work, we can help soothe your symptoms.

We use innovative dry eye technology to diagnose and treat different types of dry eye disease. During diagnosis, we will determine the cause using devices such as LipiScan, which assesses the health of your meibomian glands, an essential structure for healthy tear production.

Once we’ve determined the cause of your dry eye, we’ll discuss treatment options based on your needs and preferences. We may recommend OptiLIFT eyelid rejuvenation, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, ThermiEyes radiofrequency, or LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation, among other options. Our dry eye treatment technologies are designed to target the root cause and relieve your symptoms.

Eye Exams Enhanced with Technology

Our eye exams combine our suite of eye care technology with the experience and compassion of our team to provide you with truly comprehensive care. 

Our technology enhances our diagnosis and treatment options, allowing us to detect conditions early and provide effective treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Eye Care Technology

EyeCare Plus uses a range of diagnostic technologies to evaluate your vision and overall eye health. Depending on your needs, your eye exam may include retinal imaging, OCT scans, eye function testing, dark adaptation testing, and dry eye diagnostic technology.

These tools help your optometrist detect changes in the eyes, identify signs of eye disease, and monitor your eye health over time.

The iWellness Package is an optional screening package that includes Optos retinal imaging and an iVue OCT scan. These technologies provide detailed images and scans of important eye structures, including the retina, cornea, lens, and iris. The package can help your optometrist identify subtle changes that may indicate eye disease.

The iWellness Package is available as an addition to your eye exam for $49. It includes Optos retinal imaging and an iVue OCT scan to provide additional information about your eye health.

The iWellness Package provides detailed images and scans of the eyes without requiring dilation in many cases. However, dilation may still be necessary depending on your individual eye health and the findings during your exam. Your optometrist will let you know if dilation is recommended.

Dark adaptation testing measures how quickly your eyes adjust when moving from light to darkness.

EyeCare Plus uses a dark adaptometer to evaluate this function because changes in dark adaptation can be associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This testing can help identify potential signs of AMD before noticeable symptoms or vision loss occur.

Yes. EyeCare Plus provides free AMD screening for patients age 50 and older as part of their eye exam. Dark adaptation testing can help evaluate how your eyes adjust to darkness, which may provide important information when screening for AMD.

If AMD is detected or suspected, your optometrist can recommend additional testing and monitoring.

A RETeval test evaluates how quickly your retina responds to light and sends signals through the optic nerve to the brain. This provides your optometrist with information about how well your visual system is functioning.

RETeval testing can also help detect and monitor conditions affecting the retina and optic nerve, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

Diagnostic technology gives your optometrist additional information that may not be visible through standard vision testing alone. Detailed images and measurements can help identify changes in the eyes, support early detection of eye disease, establish a baseline for future comparison, and guide treatment decisions.

Dry eye diagnosis involves evaluating your symptoms and examining the structures responsible for producing and maintaining your tears.

EyeCare Plus uses technologies such as LipiScan to assess the meibomian glands, which play an important role in maintaining a healthy tear film. Your optometrist can use these findings to determine potential causes of dry eye and recommend treatment options.

EyeCare Plus offers several technologies for treating dry eye, depending on the underlying cause and your individual needs. Treatment options may include OptiLIFT eyelid rejuvenation, IPL therapy, ThermiEyes radiofrequency, and LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation.

Your optometrist will recommend the appropriate approach after evaluating your eyes and determining what may be contributing to your symptoms.

No. Technology is an important part of comprehensive eye care, but it works alongside your optometrist’s examination, medical history, symptoms, and other vision and eye health tests. Your optometrist uses all of this information together to assess your eye health and determine whether additional testing or treatment is needed.
