Diagnostic Imaging and Eye Scans

At Ishraq Eye Center, we use cutting-edge diagnostic imaging and scanning technology to provide accurate and thorough assessments of eye health. These tools ensure precise diagnoses and effective treatment planning, allowing our specialists to detect and monitor conditions at the earliest stages.

What Are Diagnostic Eye Scans?

Diagnostic imaging and eye scans are non-invasive tests that capture detailed images of different parts of the eye, including the cornea, retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. These scans are essential for detecting and managing conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal tears, and macular edema.

With advanced imaging technologies, we can provide:

• Accurate early diagnosis of eye diseases
• Ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions
• Personalized treatment planning for optimal outcomes

Our Key Diagnostic Services

We offer a wide range of diagnostic tools to ensure precise evaluation:

• Corneal Imaging – Pentacam
  Generates 3D maps of the cornea’s front and back surfaces, used for diagnosing keratoconus and astigmatism, and evaluating candidacy for LASIK and other refractive procedures.
• Biometry
  Measures eye length and corneal curvature—essential for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power in cataract surgery.
• A-Scan
  Measures axial length and lens thickness to guide accurate lens selection for cataract surgery.
• B-Scan Ultrasound
  Used when internal structures are obscured (e.g., dense cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage). Helps detect retinal detachment, tumors, and other abnormalities.
• Visual Field Test
  Assesses peripheral vision, primarily to monitor glaucoma progression and optic nerve damage.
• OCT Macula (Optical Coherence Tomography)
  High-resolution imaging of the macula, essential for diagnosing and tracking macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.
• OCT Optic Nerve
  Evaluates the optic nerve for glaucoma, inflammation, or compression-related disorders.
• OCT Angiography (OCTA)
  A non-invasive method to visualize retinal blood flow, useful in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and vascular occlusions.
• Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)
  Involves injecting a dye to evaluate retinal blood vessels—helping diagnose wet macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and vascular conditions.
• Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF)
  Uses the retina’s natural fluorescence to detect damage without dye. Valuable in monitoring dry macular degeneration and inherited retinal diseases.

How Diagnostic Eye Imaging Helps

Our imaging tools play a critical role in detecting and managing:

• Diabetic retinopathy & macular edema
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Glaucoma and optic nerve damage
• Retinal tears, detachments, or tumors
• Inherited retinal diseases

What to Expect During Your Scan

• Preparation: Most scans are non-invasive and require no preparation. For some tests (e.g., fluorescein angiography), a dye injection may be needed.
• Duration: Scans usually take 10–20 minutes, depending on the type.
• Comfort: OCT and fundus photography are completely painless and non-invasive.
• Results: Images are available immediately and reviewed with your doctor during the same visit.

Outcomes & Benefits of Imaging

• Early detection of eye diseases before vision loss occurs
