Digital Refraction System

Our sophisticated method for determining your eyeglass prescription integrates the electronic measurement of any old glasses (auto-lensometry) with an objective measurement of your eye focusing (autorefraction), a subjective analysis of your eye focusing (subjective refraction) and correlates all these readings to your vision on a digital eye chart. The result is an accurate eyeglass prescription for clear, comfortable vision.

We don’t simply start off with an estimate with your prescription, we gather a Corneal Topography (computer assisted diagnostic tool that creates a three-dimensional map of the surface curvature of the cornea) using the VisionIX.

An eye with normal vision has an evenly rounded cornea, but if the cornea is too flat, too steep, or unevenly curved, less than perfect vision results. The greatest advantage of corneal topography is its ability to detect irregular conditions such as Keratoconus, invisible to most conventional testing early in the disease.

With a single touch, we can switch between your new prescription compared to your old prescription(s) to allow our patients to instantly visualize the difference in prescriptions. This enhances the clinical exam to be accurate and precise and can also assess how your vision is at night vs. during the day.

Digital Retinal Imaging

Many eye diseases develop without symptoms, they are often first discovered during a comprehensive eye examination. A comprehensive eye exam should always include a careful look at the retina, which is located at the back of the eye. The sensitive tissue that makes up the retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases that can ultimately lead to vision loss.

The Optomap produces an ultrawide digital image of the retina and serves as a great screening tool. With a push of a button much like a camera, a high-resolution image is captured as part of your examination entrance testing. It is performed by our highly-trained Optometric Assistance.

At Specs Appeal we believe in preventative care. The first signs of eye disease often appear below the surface of the retina. Vision threatening diseases often have no outward signs or symptoms in the early stages. iWellness is a state-of-the-art retinal scan that allows this imaging quick, fast and easy. Without viewing below the surface there's a lot that can be missed and we want to make sure we provide the best care for our patients. At Specs Appeal we make the iWellness Exam a part of every annual eye exam to assess the health of your eyes. the latest advancement in eye care technology that aids in early detection of eye diseases.

Traditional eye exams and retinal photography do not provide this level of detail. iWellness exam helps us to detect common eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma earlier.

Specs Appeal is dedicated to providing the best eye care possible. We’re pleased to offer our patients the latest advancement in eye care – the iWellnessExam Solix. The iWellnessExam non-invasively captures cross sectional views of the layers of your retina, previously not visible with traditional methods and other technologies. This helps our doctors to check for very early signs of sight-threatening conditions. It is a fast, painless test and comfortable for patients of all ages.

Virtual Visual Field

At Specs Appeal, we are committed to utilizing cutting-edge technology to provide our patients with the most comprehensive and advanced eye care services available. One of the revolutionary technologies we employ is the virtual visual field machine - a compact and portable device that enables us to test a patient's peripheral vision with unparalleled accuracy and reliability.

The virtual visual field machine projects a series of stimuli onto a screen, while the patient focuses on a central point and responds to the stimuli by pressing a button. The machine's sophisticated algorithm then adjusts the stimuli to the patient's unique visual sensitivity, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Our optometrists utilize the virtual visual field machine to diagnose and monitor a range of eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other visual impairments.
