DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION

	Applanation tonometry according to corneal thickness	It allows for evaluating the actual intracapsular pressure by eliminating the measurement error caused by too thin or too thick cornea.
	Applanation tonometry (intracapsular pressure measurement) -	A routine ophthalmic procedure
	Autokeratorefractometer (computer-aided vision examination)	Examination of eye refraction and cornea power along the main optical axes. A standard routine in ophthalmic examination.
	Biometry (eyeball length and eye structure measurement)	Used for calculating intracapsular lens power and evaluate the rate of myopia progress
	Intracapsular lens calculation	An examination meant to calculate the power of the intracapsular lens that is to be implanted in place of the opaque lens.
	Cornea topography (mapping)	Meant to detect irregularities on the cornea surface e.g. keratoconus, irregular astigmatisms.
	Fluorescein and indocyanine angiography (examination of retinal blood vessels)	Upon administering contracts into a vein and with the use of special filters, we get information on the condition of big and small retinal vessels, pigmentation and cancerous changes.
	Eye fundus colour photography	Evaluation of the progress rate of changes in the eye fundus, data archiving.
	Gonioscopy (drainage angle evaluation)	A routine procedure for all patients we diagnose for glaucoma.
	Macular polarimetry (Preferential Hyperacuity Perimetry, PHP)	Allows for diagnosing macular degeneration in very early stages
	Pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement)	In glaucoma diagnosis, intracorneal ring insert procedures, corneal degeneration
	Perimetry (field of vision examination)	Evaluation of the portion space visible at the moment of steady fixation of gaze in one direction; used for diagnosing glaucoma, optic nerve diseases, central nervous system damages.
	TOSCA	Works like Wavefront
	Examination of retinal endothelium	Evaluation of the quantity and morphology of endothelial cells - a single layer of cells lining the cornea. A routine procedure prior to cataract operation.
	WAVEFRONT	Wavefront technology allows your surgeon to measure your eyes' unique focusing abilities.
