Diagnostic capabilities
At Hutto Vision Care we pride ourselves on having the latest technology. We feature the following diagnostic equipment :
The all new Marco 3D Wave is one of the latest and greatest advancements in refractive technology. This instrument allows us to map the front part of your eye in greater detail than ever before; allowing us to determine your Rx in both daytime and at night! Many people are often surprised to find they have a large difference between the two and it really helps explain why night time driving can be so difficult.
The Nidek AFC-230 is a breakthrough in photography. This instrument allows us to get a high resolution image in perfect clarity of the back of your eye. Using these photographs, we can pinpoint exactly where in the retina different diseases are happening and keep a photographic record of your eyes to compare year to year if something pathological is occuring. It is also a great tool to that allows us to educate on the importance of eye health.
Just like you, eye doctors have to see other eye doctors to keep their ocular health maintained. Which means we are poked and prodded just like you are. And if you’ve ever had the old “puff test” performed on your eyes, we can almost assure that you hate it just as much as Dr. Hensley does. So he decided to get rid of it and use the brand new Reichart Tonopen Avia. Using a simple anesthetic, this device allows near perfect measurement of eye pressures without even the slightest of a breeze.
The Marco TRS 5100 is one of the most advanced and clinically useful refraction systems ever invented. This phoropter allows the doctor to modify your Rx from a distance, instead of being awkwardly close and uncomfortable. It also uses technology called monocular diplopia to allow you to choose between fuzzy and clear dots, instead of confusing letters. Everyone can tell the difference between a fuzzy and clear dot, but sometimes we have a hard time telling between a “G” and an “O”. This allows you the most accurate Rx possible as well as giving you an instantaneous measurement between your old and new Rx.
The M&S Visual Acuity TV Charts allow us to use HDTV to enhance your exam. This technology lets us change contrasts, give an infinate number of letters to keep you from memorizing charts, and allows us to display pictures and television to help with younger children’s exams as well as entertain everyone else. Even though we offer effective, prompt evaluations we also know that waiting at a doctor’s office can happen. M&S allows us to offer you full DirecTV in the exam rooms while you wait, because reading a 10 month old magazine can get old very quickly.
