The earliest sign of glaucoma it the thinning of the nerve fiber layer of the retina. Dr. Liva uses the most advanced diagnostic tool available to detect abnormalities in a patient's nerve fiber layer at the earliest possible moment. The Cirrus HD-OCT is a High Definition Spectral Domain Imaging Laser that performs 27000 scans per second of the optic nerve fiber layer. Measurements are obtained with a resolution of 5 microns. These measurements are compared to a powerful database to compare your results with normal levels for people of  your gender, age, and race. The data is stored in a personal file for future reference as a baseline to allow better detection of glaucoma and also to monitor treatment success in patients with known glaucoma on medication. With the Cirrus HD-OCT early diagnosis of glaucoma is possible and loss of vision can be prevented.

 

The macula can be scanned to diagnose and manage a variety of retinal diseases including:
