Optomap Retinal Imaging
A Holley Optometrists exclusive - being the only practice in the North Coast area to have an Optomap machine, we are proud to be able to offer our patients the chance to benefit from this advanced equipment.
The Optomap non-invasively captures an instantaneous, ultra-widefield digital image of the retina. This image is captured in less than half a second using low-powered laser wavelengths that scan simultaneously. This image then provides the optometrists with a view of approximately 82% of your retina, and helps with evaluating your eye health. This provides the optometrist with a tool to help discover retinal disease, and assist in the diagnosis of eye conditions early. It also enables the practitioner to effectively determine the next course of action. Early detection of any retinal abnormality may lead to earlier and safer treatments, and in many cases prevent vision loss.
OCT Retinal Scanning
Otherwise known as Ocular Coherence Tomography, this is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. In a similar way to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of the eye. The OCT machine captures both a retinal photograph and a retinal scan of the back of the eye, allowing us to rapidly diagnose a number of common eye conditions e.g. Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Diabetes. The scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick. With every scan the software can automatically detect even the subtlest changes to the retina, giving you an invaluable record of the health of your eyes.
Tonometry
The Tonoref 3 Tonometer has the capability to measure the thickness of the cornea before recording the pressure of the eye. This valuable additional information then allows us to identify those patients at risk of developing Glaucoma, and make referral for early treatment possible.
Slit Lamp
This advanced microscope is fitted with a digital camera to capture and video the front and back of the eye, allowing an in-depth assessment to identify the early causes of dry eye disease, and other more serious eye conditions.
Visual Fields
The Henson visual field analyser can detect disfunction in the central and peripheral vision, which may be caused by various medical conditions such as Glaucoma and Stroke.
Computerised Eye Charts
All our consulting rooms have the latest Thompson computerised eye charts to ensure the highest accuracy in determining each patient’s spectacle and contact lens prescription.

At the completion of each eye examination our eyecare professionals will take into consideration factors such as your career, lifestyle and hobbies, and will give informed advice on which products are best suited for you.
