Ophthalmic imaging is a highly specialised field of ophthalmology which helps doctors and clinicians to diagnose and manage a wide variety of eye conditions. The team carry out a number of different tests which are used to help measure, diagnose, monitor and treat patients' eye conditions. This work is carried out by ophthalmic photographers and imaging technicians.
Ophthalmology is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field. With continuous advancements in instruments and techniques, we are enhancing our understanding of eye diseases and their treatments. These improvements enable us to offer an optimal patient experience, deliver high-quality imaging, and reduce the time patients spend in the department.
All tests are conducted during outpatient appointments, and we provide patients with the latest technologies in ophthalmic imaging, including:
Color fundus imaging captures highly detailed photographs of the retina, located at the back of the eye. Our advanced cameras enable a variety of specialized imaging techniques, including 3D imaging, ultra-wide field fundus photography, and fundus autofluorescence. The latter utilizes different wavelengths of light to provide additional insights into retinal health.
Ocular angiography provides detailed images of the blood circulation within the eye, assisting doctors in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
Patients receive an injection of dye into their arm, which travels through the bloodstream to the eye within approximately 15 seconds. High-resolution photographs of the eye are then taken over a period of about ten minutes to assess the blood circulation and diagnose any issues.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that captures thousands of high-resolution scans to reveal the fine layers of the retina and choroid at the back of the eye. This detailed imaging enables clinicians to accurately diagnose, monitor, and plan treatments for various eye diseases and conditions.
OCT is a cross-sectional and 3D imaging technique that utilizes advanced technology to produce detailed images in just a few minutes. While primarily used to examine the retina and choroid at the back of the eye, OCT is also effective for imaging the front of the eye, such as assessing damage to the cornea (the eye's outer surface).
Anterior segment photography examines the structures at the front of the eye and any conditions that may affect them. This technique provides highly magnified images, offering clinicians a detailed view of the cornea, iris, and sclera (the white part of the eyeball).
Corneal topographic imaging provides a detailed and comprehensive view of the patient’s eye, helping clinicians fully understand the condition and explore all treatment options.
Corneal topography is a non-invasive, painless imaging technique that quickly generates a 3D map of the cornea's surface curvature. This method allows us to assess the eye's outer structure in detail, and patients may undergo multiple imaging tests as needed.
