What is Optic Nerve Analysis?
Analysis of the optic nerve can detect damage caused by glaucoma before you lose any vision. The swift and painless exam helps diagnose glaucoma years earlier than other available technologies. During the exam, you simply lean into an instrument and look at a light. A harmless laser scans the back of your eye and forms an image in less than one second. The entire procedure may be over in under a minute. It is non-intrusive and does not require pupil dilation. Exam results take the shape of a color-coded “thickness map” of the retinal nerve fiber layer in your eye. This supplies Dr. Maehara with information about the health of your eyes that cannot be obtained from other exams.
