As many of you already know, Vision has been in Cresta for the past 30 years and we have a passion in combining the very best aspects of clinical optometry with the best offerings in retail optometry and lens options to create a comprehensive eye care experience.
We have always invested in the newest technologies and our latest investment is the i-Vue OCT. This state-of-the art instrument allows us to do an in-depth microscopic screening of the back of the eye to pick up eye disease at the earliest stages which allows for prompt management or referral.
The OCT does a quick, non-invasive scan for vision threatening diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration. These diseases are usually symptomless leaving you unaware of any problem, unless the condition is at an advanced stage. VISION optometrists can see beneath the surface of your retina with this technology and advise on the health of your eyes and appropriate referral where necessary.
