| Shelby Eye Centers utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, techniques, and supplies to thoroughly evaluate and treat many eye conditions. The right choice of treatment technology can result in excellent visual outcomes. |

|
| Retinal Laser-The retinal laser assists the ophthalmologist in treating diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and leaking blood vessels. The use of the laser prevents bleeding and leakage of fluid in the back of the eye and may assist in and preventing a retinal tear from becoming a retinal detachment. |
Yag Laser-Patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma can benefit from YAG laser treatment. During YAG laser Iridotomy, a special contact lens is applied to the patient’s cornea, which helps to focus the laser, allowing the creation of an opening in the iris. YAG laser treatment also assists in removing cloudy, post-surgical membranes from the eye after cataract surgery. In this surgical procedure, focused laser applications are used to restore clarity to the optical path of the eye.

| Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)-Assist the ophthalmologist in treating glaucoma. Using laser therapy, patients may be able to avoid surgery and reduce their dependence on eye drops. The SLT laser treatment selectively targets pigmented cells while preserving the surrounding tissue. This is a significant advantage over traditional therapies since it causes no coagulative damage, or clotting, within the trabecular meshwork of the eye. |
|
Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph II- In the diagnosis and management of early glaucoma, nerves with irrefutable glaucomatous cupping are seldom seen. The ability to document subtle nerve abnormalities and changes is necessary to validate treatment decisions. When concise documentation of baseline abnormalities and changes in optic nerve head features are considered in conjunction with other glaucoma risk factors and clinical findings, better management decisions for glaucoma patients will result.

|
| Corneal Topographer-Shelby Eye Centers utilizes the most advanced topography technology available with the Oculus Pentacam. This instrument allows for high resolution imaging of the corneal surface to detect various diseases and abnormalities. It is also used for contact lens fitting and LASIK. |
|
Humphrey Visual Field-Our patients are tested with the automated visual field device. This device is used to accurately measure the patient’s peripheral vision. This is very useful in the evaluation and management of glaucoma and other diseases involving the optic nerve.
Retinal Imaging- Visucam by Zesis is the first fundus camera to combine the functionality of the classic non-mydriatic camera with that of mydriatic cameras. The Visucam performs various imaging functions to include intravenous fluorescein angiography. This device is utilized for the testing and treatment of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other diseases affecting the eye.

Excimer Laser (LASIK)-Patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can benefit from this laser system. It provides the best in safety, accuracy, and comfort. This individualized laser vision correction is WaveScan driven, which enables the ophthalmologist to measure and correct unique imperfections in each individual’s vision. Many of these imperfections could never be measured before using standard methods for measuring glasses and contact lenses. |

|
| |
| Pachymeter-An ultrasonic device used to measure the thickness of the cornea. This measurement is useful in evaluation and management of glaucoma. This information also assist the ophthalmologist in determining candidates for corrective laser surgery (LASIK). |
