Optical Coherence Tomography
At Southern Eye Centers, our eye care team utilizes advanced technology to provide accurate diagnoses for eye conditions and diseases. One such technology we use is optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is critical in detecting several serious eye diseases and conditions in their early stages.
Visual Field Testing
As you focus on a single point, your visual field encompasses everything you can see. Visual field testing is an essential eye exam that helps identify any blind spots or peripheral vision loss. This exam is particularly important for people who are at high risk of eye diseases or other issues, such as those with diabetes or high blood pressure. Early detection of eye conditions can prevent gradual vision loss.
MiBo Thermflo
At Southern Eye Centers, our eye doctors have the expertise and technology to diagnose and treat chronic dry eye disease, leading to good outcomes for patients. One of the treatments we provide is the MiBo Thermoflo for chronic dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction.
Retinal Imaging
Healthy retinas are crucial for maintaining good vision, and at Southern Eye Centers, we understand the importance of preserving your sight. That’s why our team of eye care professionals utilizes retinal imaging to photograph and monitor any changes in the health of your retinas.
OptiLight IPL Therapy
At Southern Eye Centers in Baton Rouge, we use OptiLight IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy to manage dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Using gentle pulses of light, this treatment targets a leading cause of dry eye, relieving discomfort and reducing inflammation.
Antares Corneal Topographer
The Antares corneal topographer is a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that we use to map out the shape and curvature of your cornea. By creating a detailed 3D image of your cornea, it allows our eye doctors to identify irregularities and abnormalities that may be a sign of dry eye.
Glaucoma & Post-Cataract Surgery Laser Treatment
At our Plaquemine office, we use Digital Duet from Lumenis, a minimally invasive laser therapy, to help manage and treat glaucoma and help improve your vision following cataract surgery. It’s a safe, convenient, and effective alternative to traditional surgery, leading to faster recovery times and excellent results for our patients.
