Eye Exams at Our Kempsey Practice

OCT - Optical Coherence Tomography

At Masons Eyecare, we offer state-of-the-art eye screening with our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device. This test provides detailed 3D scans below the surface of your retina, revealing in-depth images of the eye's internal structures. Our optometrists use this technology to aid in the early detection and monitoring of serious eye diseases, such as glaucoma, macula holes, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. As we age, our retinas may change and produce no visible symptoms, making early prevention crucial. Schedule an eye test with our optometrists Ben or Naomi today if you start to experience any changes in your vision, such as:

• Blurred or “fuzzy” vision
• Straight lines, such as sentences on a page, appearing wavy or distorted
• Blurry areas on a printed page
• Difficulty reading or seeing details in low light levels
• Extra sensitivity to glare

EIDON - Retinal Imaging Camera

Our EIDON retinal imaging camera is another vital tool for performing eye tests in Kempsey. It takes detailed, true-colour images of the back of your eye, including the retina, optic disc, and blood vessels. These images can alert our optometrists to the early signs of any eyesight issues in much greater detail than ever before. Our team saves these images in your medical record for future comparisons, making follow-up appointments more efficient. The EIDON camera uses advanced technology and can take a 60-degree image in just one exposure, providing a view of up to 170 degrees by collating up to seven separate images.

Visual Field Testing

As part of our eye screening services in Kempsey, our optometrists here at Masons Eyecare may recommend visual field testing to evaluate the full horizontal and vertical range and sensitivity of your vision. This test is a subjective measure of central and peripheral vision, aiding in the detection and monitoring of blind spots and other visual field abnormalities caused by various ocular and brain disorders. It can assist in evaluating the size and shape of blind spots and the severity of diseases of the eye, optic nerve, and visual structures in the brain, such as optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma.

Corneal Topographer

If you’re looking for a non-invasive medical imaging solution, Masons Eyecare also offers Topography services, which is a technique that will help map out the surface curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye. This eye test can be performed in Kempsey at our clinic, and can detect subtle irregularities to the ocular surface, which is an excellent tool for the detection of dry eye.

Your eyes are your window to the world, and the Masons Eyecare team is here to protect the eye health of your whole family. Contact us today to enquire about our eye tests and screening services in Kempsey.
