IPL therapy is used to help in the treatment of dry eye. This light therapy can help reduce inflammatory mediators, alleviate abnormal blood vessels, decrease demodex, improve tear break-up time, and help restore meibomian gland function. Cosmetically it can remove sun spots, age spots, and help with fine-line wrinkles. 

  Retinal imaging helps diagnose different eye diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, holes, tears, and peripheral abnormalities. Eyecare of Lehi offers retinal imaging to every patient for a minimal fee.  

 Research conclusively shows that dark adaptation function is dramatically impaired from the earliest stages of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), with increasing deterioration as the disease progresses. The AdaptDx automatically measures the number of minutes it takes for the eye to adapt from bright light to darkness—also known as a Rod Intercept. Rod Intercept time helps doctors to determine how soon you could develop AMD, and when you have AMD it can show how quickly it is progressing 

 OCT imaging is a non-invasive test that helps optometrists receive an accurate look of the layers and structure of the retina. These measurements help with diagnosis and treatment of different eye diseases including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and more.  

 BlephEx is a painless in-office procedure performed by your eyecare professional. This procedure is done to help remove bacterial debris and exfoliate eyelids.

A medical grade micro-sponge is soaked in a deep cleanser and then spun along the base of the eyelids and eyelashes.

 A visual field test can determine if you have blind spots (called scotoma) in your vision and where they are. A scotoma’s size and shape can show how an eye disease or a brain disorder is affecting your vision. With different eye diseases, a visual field helps to monitor if there is any progression in vision loss.  

 A unique eye drop created from the patient’s own blood. Serum is the somewhat clear fluid that remains after blood is spun and the proteins and cells are removed. Serum has healing and nurturing properties; the serum is then combined with saline to create a drop specific to the patient to help in alleviating dry eye symptoms.  

A pachymetry test allows the optometrist to receive an accurate reading of the thickness of the cornea. Thickness of cornea helps to determine if you are a candidate for surgeries, can help determine glaucoma, and is used in keratoconus screenings.  

 Helps to diagnose problems with the visual pathway of the brain. This test measures the integrity of the optic nerve pathway to the brain. We use it to measure strength and speed of your optic nerve sending light signals to your visual cortex. It can help in the diagnosis of optic nerve issues, or other visual pathway issues.
