State-of-the-Art Technology
Take advantage of leading edge technology with Vision Source doctors and our affiliated specialists.
Because of the size and reputation of the Vision Source network, we are the first to incorporate new instruments and diagnostic equipment in our practices. To deliver improved outcomes for our patients, we have partnered with specialists to offer enhanced detection and management of eye health conditions with cost-effective quality care.
Some examples of cutting edge technology that may be found at a Vision Source Michigan practice include:
Digital Retinal Imaging
Digital retinal imaging utilizes a high-resolution imaging system to provide a wide-angle view of the back of the eye. Your doctor examines the image to look for abnormalities that could indicate eye health conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma or diabetic eye disease. Typically this procedure requires no dilation.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT allows your doctor to effectively see a three-dimensional cross-section of the tissue of the eye. By examining the layers of this image, your doctor can see indications of vision problems that would not normally be visible, resulting in early diagnosis and treatment.
Because your local Vision Source practice is independently owned and operated, the availability of some new instruments and diagnostic equipment may vary.
Examples of innovative technology that may be found at a Vision Source Michigan specialist location include:
Laser Vision Correction
Through the reshaping of the cornea, laser vision correction works by focusing light onto the retina properly. Laser vision correction is a procedure performed under local anesthetic to correct a variety of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and more. Laser vision correction addresses these problems by reshaping the cornea.
Laser Cataract Surgery
Cataracts is a clouding of the lens inside the eye causing symptoms like blurred vision and double vision. Once cataracts have begun to impact your daily activities, surgery may be the best next step. Through the use of a laser, a Vision Source affiliated specialists can improve patient vision within a few days after cataract surgery.
