Our Equipment and Technology

All our Retina Associates offices are fully equipped with the latest technology and equipment which our doctors utilise to provide the full range of up-to-date ophthalmic testing for you.  These include:

Digital Retinal Photography

A high resolution digital colour camera that captures fine details of the retina, for diagnosis, monitoring and to guide treatment of disease such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. This may assist in diagnosing or explaining your condition, and may be used as a baseline for future reference. 

Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging

A high resolution digital imaging camera utilising specialised filters to study certain layers of the retina, providing further information in the diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration(AMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR).   

Fluorescein and ICG Angiography

A high resolution digital imaging camera with specialised filters used to study the blood vessels of the retina and the deeper choroidal vessels. Fluorescein (yellow) or Indocyanine Green (green) dye is injected into a peripheral vein in the arm or hand, following which our certified orthoptist/photographer will capture a series of time-dependent retinal photographs. This provides intricate details of retinal and choroidal vessels essential for the diagnosis and management of conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein or retinal artery occlusion.
