Glaucoma Diagnostics: OCT & Field of View \u2013 Your Path to Preservation of Eyesight<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Glaucoma diagnostics is based on more than just measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). In order to rule out irreversible damage to the optic nerve, modern imaging methods are indispensable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field measurement (perimetry) provide high-resolution data and functional evidence. Only the combination of these procedures provides you and our team of experts with the necessary security for early treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Advanced Green Star Diagnostics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern Green Star diagnostics goes far beyond the mere measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). It is indispensable because IODINE alone does not have sufficient information about the health of your optic nerve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only through the combination of imaging methods (OCT) and functional tests (visual field measurement) can we detect damage at an early stage and thus prevent irreversible vision loss. We value this comprehensive, technologically advanced investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Glaucoma Detection: Why IOP Alone Is Not Enough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) is only a first indication. Many patients with normal pressure glaucoma have IOP values that are within the normal statistical range. Nevertheless, her optic nerve is damaged unnoticed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A treatment that is exclusively fixed on the pressure value therefore carries a high risk. Only the imaging analysis using OCT shows us the actual state of the optic nerve and the retina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The “Eye Check 40 Plus”: The comprehensive prevention from 40<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recommend the comprehensive “Eye Check 40 Plus” every year from the age of 40. This package includes the macular and glaucoma examination using OCT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, we perform the visual field measurement, the applanation tonometry and the representation of the entire posterior segment of the eye. The aim is to detect eye diseases such as incipient damage to the optic nerve at an early stage and thus avoid irreversible vision loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OCT: The high-resolution view of the optic nerve and retina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a key technology in Glaucoma diagnostics. It enables a high-resolution representation and documentation of the internal structures of the eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The procedure is fast, non-invasive and provides important information about the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the structure of the optic nerve head. This detailed view is crucial for detecting even the smallest, glaucoma-typical damage at an early stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

How Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Glaucoma OCT is an imaging examination that captures the structure of the optic nerve head and retina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With high-resolution images, it makes it possible to detect the smallest changes caused by the cataract at an early stage. This is essential because the damage to the optic nerve is irreversible. An early diagnosis by the OCT allows us to initiate immediate therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Macular Oct and Glaucoma Oct: Detailed findings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to glaucoma-specific OCT, macular OCT is also of great importance. It is a specialized form of Oct examination that details the area of the macula (the sharpest point of vision). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enables early detection of changes, such as age-related macular degeneration, and precise treatment planning. Both Oct forms ensure comprehensive diagnostics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n

Visual field measurement (perimetry): The functional test for glaucoma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visual field measurement (perimetry) is the functional test in glaucoma diagnostics. It checks how well patients perceive objects in different areas of their field of vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This measurement is crucial to determine possible malfunctions or limitations. It provides direct evidence of how far the disease has already affected peripheral vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Procedure, benefits and presentation of restrictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perimetry projects points of light of varying intensity as you look straight ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test only takes a few minutes and is painless. The measurement is carried out to detect diseases such as glaucoma or retinal diseases. The results show us which parts of the visual field have already failed \u2013 this correlates with the damage to the optic nerve that becomes visible in the OCT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These color-accurate images simplify the diagnosis and documentation of eye diseases and offer unprecedented certainty in the diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
