Special Eye Tests
in Huntersville, NC
Special Testing Means Extra Special Eye Care
Visual Field testing can help save vision because it is another test used to diagnose or rule out glaucoma and other neurological disorders that affect vision. This simple, but effective service has saved lives by detecting various medical conditions such as strokes, brain tumors, and other neurological defects.
A high-definition digital image of the retinal area helps your eye doctor diagnose and manage eye diseases in the delicate retinal area. Damage to these delicate structures of the retinal area is often the first sign of systemic diseases such as MS, diabetes and more. The retina is the “window to the body” and routine retinal imaging can help your eye doctor monitor the changes in your eye health from year to year. New technology from Optos enables the doctor to see a much wider view of the back of the eye compared to traditional retinal imaging.
New Quick and Painless Evaluation can Determine Your Risk for Diabetes
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States and can also lead to cataracts, stroke, kidney failure, and amputation. We want to be sure that you and your eyes are healthy by providing the ClearPath technology to detect and monitor your risk factor for diabetes.
Regular eye examinations for people with diabetes is critical for saving sight and Huntersville Eye Care Center is dedicated to helping people determine their risk for diabetes.
The technology is painless and noninvasive because it uses light to measure Advanced Glycated Endproducts (AGEs) in your eyes that can be a sign of abnormal sugar metabolism. These measurements can also be used to establish a baseline to measure progression.

Cataract Surgery & Low Vision
A cataract is a clouding of the lens inside the eye. The lens sits just behind the pupil and is responsible for focusing light. As the lens increases in cloudiness, it becomes more difficult to see objects clearly and bright lights can cause glare. The most common form of cataract is that of aging and it is inevitable as we mature. In most cases, cataracts do not cause any harm to the eye and cataract surgery is only done to improve the vision in which glasses no longer can improve the vision. Cataract surgery is more the patients decision than ours, because we usually recomend surgery only when the cataracts are affecting your daily life. There is no harm in delaying surgery if your life is only minimally affected.
