Cutting-Edge Technology
At Powers Eye Center we care about the health of your eyes. Early detection of eye diseases is the best way to keep your eyes seeing clearly for years to come. We have equipped our office with the latest advanced digital testing technology and retinal imaging to help detect eye disease early and provide you with the best vision possible. Our comprehensive eye exams at Powers Eye Center are affordable and include advanced digital wavefront refraction, glaucoma screening, visual field testing and basic digital retinal photos at no extra charge. Advanced Optos wide field digital retinal imaging is also available.
At Powers Eye Center, we offer advanced contact lens fittings with the latest technology. For decades, eye doctors have used and in some offices still use a device called a keratometer to measure corneal curvature in two places on the eye. We routinely perform corneal topography on contact lens patients to help you get the best fit possible. Our corneal topographer measures curvature at up to 22,000 locations, much more fully detecting eye shape for contact lens fitting, detection of irregular astigmatism, detection of eye disease and detection of refractive surgery complications. We also specialize hard to fit lenses and scleral lenses.
