Technology at Peepers Opticians
At Peepers Opticians, we are committed to caring for the whole family. We continually invest in state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to tailor eye examinations for your specific needs.
Topcon 3D OCT Eye Scan
Optical Coherence Tomography Scan, known as an OCT scan, allows our specialist optometrists to see the deepest layers of the eye to diagnose eye conditions at the earliest possible stage.
Henson Visual Field Analyser
The Henson Visual Field Screener is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment allowing our clinicians to map the peripheral vision of the eye which is vital for evaluating eye conditions including Glaucoma.
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is currently considered to be the Gold Standard method of measuring the pressure inside your eyes (the intraocular pressure or IOP).
Corneal Pachymetry
Corneal Pachymetry, the technique of measuring corneal thickness, is a quick and painless test involving an ultrasound scan of the front and back corneal surfaces to obtain a corneal thickness reading.
Corneal Topography
A corneal topographer creates a 3D map of the corneal surface so that the shape of the entire cornea can be viewed and analysed. In addition to contact lens fitting, topography can also be used to diagnose certain eye conditions, such as keratoconus.
Fundus Autofluorescence
Fundus Autofluorescence is an imaging technique that assesses the retina at a metabolic level and can be used to detect certain eye diseases which may not yet be visible when viewing the retina with more traditional methods.
Clinical Eye Tracker
This equipment is particularly beneficial in detecting subtle defects which could potentially cause significant difficulties and discomfort. It would be especially useful in children or adults with reading difficulties or who may be exhibiting signs such as lack of concentration or headaches after long periods of screen use.
Intuitive Colourimeter
Colourimetry is the systematic process of accurately prescribing precision tinted lenses from thousands of possible colour combinations. The Intuitive Colorimeter allows us to determine the exact hue, saturation, and brightness of colour that alleviates symptoms of visual stress, migraines, and other neurological symptoms.
