Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. In our continuing efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Family Vision Center is proud to announce the inclusion of the iWellnessExam as an important part of our complete eye examination. Similar to an MRI or CT scan for the eye, the iWellnessExam uses spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to produce cross sectional images of the retinal layers – which is sensitive area of the back of your eye – in a matter of seconds.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress without symptoms. In early stages, you may not even notice a change in your vision. But sight threatening conditions and diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and others can be detected with a thorough exam of the retina, including the iWellnessExam.

The iWellnessExam is fast, easy, and comfortable for patients of all age and provides Dr. Kathy Hendrickson with valuable information about the health of your most precious gift – your sight.

The iWellnessExam provides:

• Detailed SD-OCT scan reports to show a healthy eye or detect early signs of disease.
• Thickness maps of the retina and ganglion cell complex giving your doctor detailed information simply not available with other methods.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss your iWellnessExam scan reports with your doctor at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your file, which allows Dr. Kathy Hendrickson to compare your iWellnessExam scan reports each year to look for changes.

Measurements

Optikam's EY-Stick measurement device obtains eyewear measurements that take into account how the frame will be worn by the patient once dispensed.

These personalized “as-worn” measurements allow lens designs to be customized to take into account Vertex Distance, Pantoscopic Tilt and Frame Wrap.

As-worn measurements improve monocular Pupillary Distance measurements as well. The Pupilometer measures the monocular Pupillary Distances anatomically based on the center of the patient's face, whereas OptikamPad will obtain monocular Pupillary Distances using the mid-point of the frame which takes into account the frame fit and possible nose pad adjustments.

In the time needed for an ECP to obtain two measurements using a pupilometer and a Sharpie, OptikamPad provides the ten measurements needed for Position of Wear:

    Monocular Pupillary Distance (PD)
    Multifocal Seg Heights
    Pantoscopic Tilt (Panto)
    Rear Vertex Distance (RVD)
    Wrap (Face Form Tilt)
    Near Pupillary Distance
    A, B, ED/MBS and DBL values

These measurements, when accounted for in the fabrication of the patient's lenses, offer the best visual experience.
