Diagnostic Modalities

---

Fluorescein Angiography technigues for standard and ultrawide imaging.  Use of filters, exposure and timing of images to improve diagnostic features.

Learn the basic probe positions and 3-D thinking for a thorough examination.  Review the physics applicable to this technique.  Learn a basic 6 step screening technique as well as adjunct diagnostic methodology.

Axial Eye Length Biometry is used to facilitate precise measurements . In order to meet heightened physician and patient expectations for standard and premium IOL's, it is crucial to pay utmost attention to biometry readings, as well as to the application of correct intraocular lens power formula with optimized lens constants

Fundamentals of color fundus imaging.  Techniques for improving focus, composition and exposure of images.  Use of serial and differential stereo technique   

Learn more about the significance of posterior SD-OCT imaging for retinal, glaucoma and neuro subspecialties.  How to improve composition, saturation and artifact neutralization.   Purposeful looking of anatomical landmarks to improve OCT interpretive capabilities.

 Automated and Manual perimetric accuracy is crucial for evaluating change over time.   Learn top tips for improving autometed visual field analysis.    Learn to perform Goldmann manual perimetry as an adjunct to automated technique.

Corneal topography is a powerful tool  assess corneal shape and refractive power.  Topography can help identify patients with irregular shape related to ocular surface disease or EBMD that requires treatment prior to cataract surgery. 

 Specular microscopy is a noninvasive photographic technique that facilitates rapid and accurate diagnosis of corneal endotheliopathies.  Learn the fundamentals of specular micrography and basic non contact techniques.

Anterior Segment OCT utilizes high resolution provided by SD-OCT devices.  This modality provides imaging of structures in the anterior segment such as the cornea, angle and conjunctiva.
