FACILITIES |
|
|
|
| Shroff Eye Centre is a leading eye centre in Delhi offering
state of the art diagnostic and therapeutic services in all subspecialties
of ophthalmology. These include: |
 |
| |
|
| GDx VCC (Laser Diagnostics) |
|
 New
approach to Glaucoma Diagnosis with GDx VCC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer
(RNFL) Analyzer
Indicated for earliest detection of Glaucoma even before any significant
damage is discovered on visual field testing. The retinal nerve fiber
layer is the actual site of damage caused by glaucoma and nerve fiber
analysis with the GDx VCC is the only examination that quantifies
this retinal nerve fiber loss. |

|
| Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) |
|
 Optical
Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a new, noninvasive, noncontact, transpupillary
imaging technology, which can produce very high-resolution cross-sectional
images of the retina. This technology can be used to help diagnose
and thus treat a variety of retinal disorders including diabetic retinopathy,
macular holes, age-related macular degeneration, epiretinal membranes,
cystoid macular edema, central serous choroidopathy and optic disc
pits. We have recently introduced the Spectral Domain OCT (Optovue),
which provides very high-resolution retinal imaging. This device also
has an application for the early detection of glaucoma, as well as
imaging of the cornea and anterior segment at a microscopic level |

 Fluorescein
angiography is a dynamic real time diagnostic tool to study
the retinal vasculature. This involves an injection of fluorescein
dye intravenously and then taking serial retinal photographs. This
helps in diagnosing diseases of retina and choroid and also in evaluating
the effect of treatment (medical or laser). The most common indications
are Diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and vascular
blocks of the retina.
Indo-cyanine Green angiography is done to evaluate the choroidal
circulation. The most common indications are Age related macular
degeneration and other choroidal pathologies. ICG angiography helps
in evaluating the choroidal lesions which are not seen clearly on
fluorescein angiography.

|
| Automated Specular Microscopy |
|
 Each
patient undergoing cataract surgery is examined in detail to assess
the endothelial count of the cornea using this technology. The endothelium
is the inner most layer of the cornea which is responsible for its
transparency. Preoperative assessment of the endothelial count enables
the surgeon to identify patients in whom this layer is weaker (low
cell counts), who are not fit for the phacoemulsification procedure,
and in whom surgery by the conventional technique would be safer. |

|
| IOLMaster |
|
 This
device is a non-contact device for performing extremely accurate measurements
of the eye and intraocular lens power calculations for patients undergoing
cataract surgery. |
|
| |
|
| Oculus Pentacam |
|
 This
state-of-the-art device is capable of assessing the front and back
surfaces of the cornea and estimating the corneal thickness for patients
undergoing laser vision corrective procedures for the removal of glasses.
This technology is far superior to conventional corneal topography
for ruling out cases not suited for the above procedures. |

|
| B Scan (Ophthalmic Technologies Inc.) |
|
 Ultra
Sound is an important non-invasive diagnostic tool when visualization
of the internal structure of the eyes is not possible due to dense
cataract or blood. It enables us to assess the visual prognosis better
and plan the surgical procedure accordingly. The three-dimensional
mode available in the machine is very useful in diagnosing mass lesions
(tumors etc.) of the eye better. |
|
| |
|
| Ocular Electrodiagnostics (Nicolet) |
|
|
 In
keeping with the highest standards of excellence, Shroff Eye Centre
has installed the latest state-of-the-art Nicolet system for dedicated
Ocular Electrodiagnostics including Electro-retinogram (ERG), Electro-oculogram
(EOG) and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). Well-trained Optometrists
perform the test as per ISCEV standards, and these are reported
by consultants trained from Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai and LV Prasad
Eye Institute, Hyderabad. The test results are compared with the
normal database recorded at Shroff Eye Centre.
Besides the above, Shroff Eye Centre also possesses investigative
facilities like Applanation Tonometry, non-contact tonometry, Gonioscopy,
A-scan biometry (contact & immersion), computerized perimetry (Automated
visual field analysis), and slit-lamp photography.
