Using a very coherent wave front laser to measure the smallest imperfection of the visual system, called high order of aberrations, ZEISS developed an algorithm to average these individual imperfections and design a customized correction to address these problems called i.Scription.

Most drivers are exposed to difficult conditions that impact their vision, including driving in rain, snow, fog, and of course driving at night. For many, this can be a significant source of stress - in fact, over two thirds of adults report difficulty driving in these challenging visual conditions. ZEISS DriveSafe is an all-day lens and coating solution specifically designed for patients who need the help with vision while driving. ZEISS DriveSafe’s unique technology addresses the most stressful visual challenges drivers face today. Read More >> New Page

Corneal topography, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature along with the elevation and depressions of the cornea. Since the cornea is normally responsible for some 70% of the eye’s refractive power, its topography is of critical importance in determining the quality of vision.

The process entails a digital image of the cornea, with concentric reference circles. A 3D map is computed using all of these reference points and therefore a valuable aid to the examining optometrist and can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of eye conditions such as Keratoconus and other corneal irregularities. It is also very valuable in planning refractive surgery such as LASIK and evaluation of its results; or in assessing the fit of contact lenses.

At Dr Zaibaq & Associates Eye Trends, we use cutting-edge ocular coherence tomography (OCT) to assess your eyes, it provides us with very detailed scans of the topography of the optic nerve, the thickness of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, to help diagnose Glaucoma early on. It also gives very detailed scan of the macula to diagnose macular degeneration at its earliest stages. The latest generation of OCT is the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 that allows us to look at the cornea, and the anterior chamber, detecting many conditions, and in perfecting scleral lenses fitting. Such equipment is critical in assisting our Doctors to detect and monitor change over time of Diabetic macular edema, Macular Degeneration. Macular holes, etc. OCT works using light without radiation.

An OCT scan is a noninvasive, painless test. It is performed in about 10 minutes right in our office. Feel free to contact our Eye Trends eye care center in Sugar Land, or in Meyerland plaza to inquire about an OCT at your next appointment.

Digital Retinal Imaging allows your eye doctor to evaluate the health of the back of your eye, the retina. It is critical to confirm the health of the retina, optic nerve and other retinal structures. The digital camera snaps a high-resolution digital picture of your retina. This picture clearly shows the health of your eyes and is used as a baseline to track any changes in your eyes in future eye examinations. Our Optomap, in a second can gather a lot of information about the retina without having to dilate the eye. The other high-resolution Fundus photography, we use to document a small area of intertest. Such tests are crucial in detecting very small and early Diabetic changes in the retina or looking for a pathology in the retina.

The optomap® Retinal Exam is fast, easy, and comfortable for all ages. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time and you will see a comfortable flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken.

The optomap® image is shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.

A visual field test measures how bright a spot of light needs to be, before it is visible by you. Within the central 30 degrees of your field of vision. To detect peripheral vision loss or visual field abnormalities. It is a straightforward and painless test that does not involve eye drops but does involve the patient’s ability to understand and follow instructions. Such threshold Visual field testing is usually ordered when a visual fields screening test using our FDT (frequency Doubling technology ) is missed. Threshold testing is also ordered to detect early vision changes that might be due to early Glaucoma, macular degeneration, Optic Nerve drusens, or any neurological conditions

Every comprehensive Eye Consultation at our clinics includes a visual fields screening using our frequency doubling technology. It is short and easy and tends to detect many conditions in less than one-minute screening.

B-scan Scanmate ultrasound, allows our Doctors to detect a small partial retinal detachment, or a small posterior vitreous detachment. Such test is usually administered when a patient presents in with sudden floaters or flashes of light. Such tests can help our doctors detect retinal tears before they lead to retinal detachment. Once a tear is detected, a referral is made to a retina specialist who would seal the tear using a laser phocoagulation .

Pachymetry is used for assessing patients if they are good candidates for LASIK, or whether they have a condition called Keratoconus. Also, Corneal thickness is instrumental in providing risk for Glaucoma.

Corneal Hysteresis is an assessment of the cornea's ability to absorb and dissipate energy. This new measurement system indicates the level of stiffness of the cornea. Such measure is a risk factor for diagnosing Glaucoma.
