At Zacks Eye Clinic in central London we routinely perform ophthalmic imaging. Optical coherence tomography gives a unique insight into ocular structures. Slit lamp photography and retinal fundus photography are used to record images of the eye and to monitor the appearance. Corneal topography is performed to measure the shape of the eye and visual field analysis provides detailed information on visual function.

Optomap Scanning
Optomap is the only eye examination that captures more than 80% of your retina, providing an ultra-wide, panoramic view. Paired with 3D OCT imaging and autofluorescence technology, this advanced tool allows us to see beneath the surface like never before. Optomap helps detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams alone. The exam is fast, pain-free and nothing touches your eye.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides cross-sectional images of the structures within the eye to provide a 3D view beneath their surface. OCT is similar to ultrasound imaging, except that it uses light instead of sound. OCT is particularly useful for scanning the optic nerve and retinal layers around the macula and it also has useful applications in scannig the front of the eye.
Slitlamp Biomicrography
Slitlamp Biomicrography involves photography of the structures of the eye with a specially designed horizontally mounted microscope. Illumination is provided from a beam of light which can be adjusted from a very broad pattern to a very narrow slit. This enables accurate assessments of the depth of ocular structures as well as their surfaces.
Fundus Photography
In medicine, the term fundus is used to describe the inner lining of a hollow organ. The ocular fundus is the inner lining of the eye made up of the retinal layers and underlying choroid. The retina is the “film” of the eye – capturing images which pass through the clear structures of the cornea and lens. It is the only place in the body where nerve fibres and blood vessels can easily be seen making retinal images invaluable in monitoring the progression of systemic conditions such as diabetes as well as to catalogue ocular health.
Corneal Topography
The corneal topographer produces a colour map illustrating the shape of the front surface of the eye. Each colour represents the degree of curvature at a specific point. Red corresponds with the steepest areas and blue with the flattest. Topographical information is necessary to monitor changes in corneal shape following contact lens wear, orthokeratology, refractive surgery and eye disease.
Visual Field Analysis
Visual field analysis is used to diagnose and monitor the progression of diseases affecting the optic nerve and visual pathway. At Zacks we use the Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyser which is the industry gold standard favoured by hospitals and teaching institiutions.
MYAH
The MYAH is an advanced optical biometer and corneal topographer designed to provide highly accurate, non-invasive measurements of axial length, which is crucial for managing progressive myopia. It also offers features like corneal topography, pupillometry, meibography, and tear film analysis which makes it a very versatile tool in assessing dry eye treatment, visual quality, and fitting specialty contact lenses.
Zacks Eye Clinic have invested heavily in the latest practice technology, software, imaging equipment and dispensing technology whilst maintaining a broad appeal to all patients .
