Our office boasts an impressive array of technology for a small practice.
One inconvenience voiced by our patients is the turn-around time on eyeglasses. So, earlier this year, RBFE acquired a complete edging system. This means that we can cut lenses in-house instead of sending them to an outside lab. While it is impossible to keep every possible lens prescription and frame color in stock, in many cases we can make your glasses overnight, and sometimes while you wait! Lost your glasses? Going away and need them fast? Heading back to college? Don't worry! We'll see that it gets done fast.
We also have the latest technology for your eye health needs. All new patients will undergo pretesting on an autorefractor in order to give the doctor a baseline prescription. Then all new patients or those with risk factors will complete a screening on our Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer. Such a screening can detect gaps in the field of vision which could indicate anything from a detached retina to the presence of a tumor.
In addition, our office just acquired the Canon CR-2 retinal camera, the newest on the market. This camera can take a picture of the back of eye without dilation. These pictures are invaluable in the detection and monitoring of eye-related issues such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, as well as systemic disorders like diabetes and hypertension.
