Every ophthalmic surgery clinic has to choose between offering truly exceptional technology or the bare minimum to give most people good vision. For your sake, we chose the former. We believe your vision is worthy of the extraordinarily advanced medical devices available today, so we built a diagnostic suite around them.
From the initial testing and diagnosis of your eyes, to the lasers we use to correct your sight, everything Hunter Vision offers is world class.
We start with the Hunter Vision Analysis. This exam tells us the current health of your eyes, it tells us how your vision is changing, and it gives us a general view of the future of your vision. Once we have an idea of how your eyes will look 10, 20, and 30 years down the road, we can decide which (if any) refractive procedure is best for you today. If you are deciding on an elective procedure for your eyes, we owe you incredibly thorough testing.
The Hunter Vision Analysis begins simply. We compare your current glasses/contact prescription to your current refractive error. This determines if any change occurred since your last eye exam. Following that, a Hunter Vision technician captures high-definition photographs of the front surface of your eye, the lens inside your eye, your retina and optic nerve. An OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) device quickly takes a 3 dimensional picture of your retina’s macula, which is the center of your fine detail vision. Then, a Scheimpflug camera gives an objective densitometry reading of the lens inside your eye. Lastly, a Pentacam takes 2 seconds to measure 25,000 data points across the front and back surface of the cornea. This gives a 3 dimensional view of the cornea that very clearly shows what refractive procedure would fit your particular eye structure.
Dr. Hunter then takes you through these images for a one-on-one guided tour of your eye so you can discuss your eye health, and options for vision correction. In addition, once these images are acquired, we keep them in your permanent electronic health records, so all future changes can be monitored with greater precision than only written records allow.
Our femtosecond and excimer lasers offer the highest levels of precision available today.
