As part of your comprehensive ocular health evaluation, the doctors of Longview Eye Associates perform an assessment of the ocular health to determine if there is any sign of eye disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Longview Eye Associates offers multiple diagnostics tests such as automated visual field testing and the GDx Nerve Fiber Analyzer to provide a comprehensive picture of the health of the optic nerve.  Your doctor more order this test if more information is warranted to determine if you are a suspect of glaucoma and/or other ocular conditions affecting the optic nerve.

The doctors of Longview Eye Associates also provide a comprehensive evaluation of the anterior segment of the eye, specifically the cornea.  One diagnostic tool that is available at Longview Eye Associates is the Konan Specular Microscope.  This instrument provides a great deal of useful information when evaluating the health of the cornea.  Please mention to your doctor if you are experiencing any ocular irritation/dryness or any fluctuating vision, as this may be a symptom of an underlying condition affecting the corneal tissue.
