Advanced Ophthalmic & Eye Care Equipment
At Queensland Eye and Retina Specialists, we rely on the latest and most advanced eye care equipment and diagnostic tools available. By using the top of the range machines and lenses, we can gain accurate feedback, and in return, deliver the best results possible.
Optos California
The Optos California allows us to capture an ultrawide 200° image of the retina through an undilated pupil in half a second. A number of modalities are possible with this machine, including normal colour, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (IcGA) images. This is particularly important in patients with peripheral retinal pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy, as we can capture FA images on a greater portion of the retina.
Zeiss IOLMaster 700
The IOLMaster 700 employs swept source OCT technology to provide more accurate and repeatable biometry measurements. It also measures central corneal topography, allowing us to make more suitable IOL suggestions for our patients. With a cataract penetration rate of 99%, it is possible to achieve biometry measurements even with particularly dense cataracts. The unique features of the IOLMaster 700 ensure less refractive surprise post operatively.
Zeiss Cirrus 6000
The Cirrus 6000 provides us with wide-field images of the retina, up to 12mm across in a single scan. The HD scan capability of the machine allows us to see pathology at a resolution of 7µm. The Cirrus 6000 also allows us to take non-invasive OCT Angiography images, revealing microvascular detail of the retina, and providing more insight into our patients’ eye health.
Zeiss Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 (HFA3)
The HFA3 is the current gold standard of automated perimetry. This machine employs advanced testing algorithms, with the newest, SITA Faster 24-2C. This testing strategy adds 10 centrally located points to the 24-2 pattern. These points examine nerve fiber bundles which are known to be susceptible to glaucoma damage and may help us detect glaucoma earlier. Compiling each individual’s field test results in Zeiss’ FORUM Glaucoma Workplace provides at-a-glance glaucoma assessment. Each patient’s longitudinal data is represented in several graphics, highlighting potential progression in disease.
Ellex Intergre ProScan Yellow
Having this retinal laser in-rooms provides our surgeons with the ability to treat numerous pathologies quickly and conveniently. The numerous pattern and wavelength options allow us to treat conditions such as chronic CSR and diabetic retinopathy.
Heidelberg Anterion
The Anterion allows us to take highly accurate swept source OCT images of the anterior segment of the eye. We find this platform invaluable in the pre-operative assessment of cataract patients with significant astigmatism or corneal irregularities. This is particularly important for patients who are highly-motivated for a particular post operative refractive outcome.
Zeiss Callisto
The Zeiss Callisto utilises the patient data collected from the IOLMaster 700 in computer assisted cataract surgery. In doing so, this machine allows surgeons to more accurately align toric Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) at the correct axis.
Zeiss Clarus 700
The Clarus 700 provides unsurpassed true colour imaging of both the macula and peripheral retina. This HD retinal camera allows us to complete multi-modal imaging, including blue and green FAF, which assist with differential diagnosis of a number of eye conditions. Patients undergo Clarus 700 imaging at each consultation, ensuring that we can accurately compare to previous visits.
Tomey Ultrasonic B-Scan UD-800
The Ultrasonic B-Scan allows us to complete biometry measurements on the most advanced cataracts. It is also invaluable in cases where media opacity may make it impossible to visualise the retina, such as complete vitreous haemorrhage.
Ellex Tango R/YAG with Reflex
This laser has both SLT and YAG laser components. As such, our surgeons can complete YAG laser posterior capsulotomy or glaucoma laser trabeculoplasty in-rooms.
