Tower Optics
Our Expertise in Clinical Support
TOWER OPTICS. Started in 1988 by Sanjay Mehta 2 years before completing his Bachelor Degree in Optometry. Over the years TOWER OPTICS has become a leading practice of real and complete EYECARE. Coming from a humble but enterprising background has been able to set a different benchmark in Chennai. With the able support from the Optical and Optometric fraternity it has set a benchmark of what an Eye Care practice should be.
Concept 01
Nikon Non Mydriatic Fundus Camera with its 12 mega pixel camera gives ultra high definition images of retina, optic disc even in a tiny pupil thereby enables me to detect , diagnose retinal conditions in just few seconds, eliminating the need of dilating the pupils. The retina pictures can be shown and shared to the patient immediately enabling better understanding of the eye condition by them making it the most user friendly device.
Concept 02
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive eye scan that uses low-powered lasers to create 3D images of the retina, optic nerve, and cornea. It’s an optical analog of ultrasound imaging that uses low coherence interferometry to capture optical scattering from the tissue to decode spatial details of tissue microstructures. My Optovue Posterior OCT has helped in diagnosing in the last year 9 Glaucoma cases, one macular hole & one papilledema causing cavernous sinus blockage , a life threatening serious condition. This device is considered a gold standard among all OCT devices and with this device in my clinic has taken my practice to a different level in the eyes of my patient.
Concept 03
The Optovue OCT has also Anterior Attachment enabling me to check Anterior Chamber Angle accurately ( helpful in diagnosing Narrow Angle Glaucoma) , Corneal thickness ( Pachymeter ) across almost a wide area of the Cornea which helps in knowing the Elevation map of the Cornea , which has helped me in detecting 6 Keratoconus cases in the last one year. Also it enables me to check the fitting of Contact lenses in fine details both Regular & Scleral on the cornea. The device stores the results and it can be transferred to any storage device, printed in color immediately.
Concept 04
Elisar AVA is a head mounted low cost, light weight Visual Field Analyzer which detects accurately the tiniest defect very quickly. It offers
1. Foveal threshold testing
2. Test pattern 24-2, 30-2 and 10-2
3. Test strategies including screening, full threshold, Elisar Standard, and Elisar Fast
4. Fixation monitoring, eye-tracking system.
It generates report in a blue tooth connected handheld tablet immediately. It has enabled me to conclude the diagnosis of my Glaucoma & other retinal devices conclusively.
