The Technology Behind Better Care

At Lakefront Eye Care | Aesthetics & Wellness, we invest in advanced technology because we believe in detecting problems early, diagnosing accurately, and treating effectively. The right tools allow us to see your eye health and skin health at a level of detail that wasn't possible even a few years ago — and that precision directly translates to better outcomes for you.

Diagnostic Imaging

Eidon Ultra-Wide Field Retinal Imaging

The Eidon system captures high-resolution, true-color images of your retina with an ultra-wide field of view — far more than a traditional retinal camera. This technology allows us to:

  • Detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma

  • Monitor changes in retinal health over time with precise comparison imaging

  • Identify peripheral retinal conditions that might be missed with standard imaging

  • Provide you with a clear visual of your own eye health (patients love seeing their images)


The Eidon's autofocus and confocal technology means we get sharp, detailed images even through small pupils — making it comfortable and efficient for every patient.

Zeiss Cirrus OCT 5000

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is like an MRI for your eye. The Zeiss Cirrus OCT 5000 creates detailed cross-sectional images of your retina, optic nerve, and the structures beneath the surface of your eye. This allows us to:

  • Detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease at the earliest stages

  • Measure retinal thickness and nerve fiber layer changes with micrometer precision

  • Track disease progression over time to determine whether treatment is working

  • Identify conditions that are invisible during a standard exam


OCT is completely non-invasive — it takes just seconds and requires no dilation in most cases.

Firefly Digital Slit Lamp Imaging System

The Firefly digital slit lamp represents a major advance in anterior segment examination. It provides:

  • High-resolution imaging of the cornea, iris, lens, and eyelids

  • Infrared meibography — imaging of the meibomian glands to detect ocular surface disease causing dryness, irritation, tearing, and redness

  • Photo documentation of cataracts, corneal abnormalities, and other anterior segment conditions

  • Before-and-after comparisons to track treatment progress


Meibography is particularly valuable for our dry eye patients, as it reveals gland damage that may not be visible during a standard exam — allowing us to intervene earlier and more effectively.

Visual Function Testing

OLLEYES Virtual Visual Field

Say goodbye to the chin-in-the-bowl visual field test. The OLLEYES system uses virtual reality (VR) headset technology to perform visual field testing in a more comfortable, intuitive, and accurate way. You wear a lightweight VR headset and respond to light stimuli — just like a traditional visual field test, but without the uncomfortable positioning and claustrophobic feel of the old machines.

  • More comfortable patient experience

  • Consistent, reliable results for detecting and monitoring glaucoma, neurological conditions, and other visual field defects

  • Portable technology that allows testing in any room

  • Patients find it easier to stay focused and complete the test accurately


Topcon Autophoropter

The autophoropter automates the refraction process — the "which is better, 1 or 2?" part of your eye exam. Instead of manually swapping lenses in a bulky trial frame, the Topcon autophoropter digitally presents lens options with precision, speed, and consistency. Benefits include:

  • Faster, more comfortable refraction experience

  • Highly accurate prescription measurements

  • Seamless integration with our other diagnostic instruments

  • Less room for human error in the refraction process


Autorefraction

Before your refraction begins, our autorefractor takes a quick, objective measurement of how light bends in and out of your eye. It works by projecting a beam of light into the eye and measuring how the light is reflected back — giving us a rough estimate of your prescription in seconds. This starting point helps the doctor fine-tune your prescription more efficiently during the "1 or 2" process.

  • Completely automated — no patient input required

  • Takes only seconds

  • Provides an objective baseline that makes the rest of the exam faster and more accurate


Corneal Assessment

Oculus K5 Keratograph

The Oculus K5 Keratograph is a multi-functional corneal topographer and tear film analyzer that provides detailed information about:

  • Corneal topography — mapping the curvature of the corneal surface for contact lens fitting and corneal disease monitoring

  • Tear film quality — measuring tear break-up time and lipid layer thickness

  • Meibomian gland imaging — infrared visualization of gland structure and health

  • Tear meniscus height — quantifying tear volume along the lower lid


This data is especially valuable for our dry eye patients and for precision contact lens fittings.

Medmont Corneal Topographer

The Medmont corneal topographer creates a highly detailed 3D map of the corneal surface using placido disc technology. It's a critical tool for:

  • Keratoconus detection and monitoring — identifying early corneal thinning and irregularity before it causes noticeable vision changes

  • Ortho-K lens design — the precise corneal map drives the custom design of overnight reshaping lenses

  • Scleral and specialty lens fitting — understanding the exact corneal contour for optimal lens design

  • Pre- and post-surgical evaluation — tracking corneal changes before and after procedures like corneal crosslinking


Measurement & Precision

Solus Lensometer (Topcon)

The Solus digital lensometer reads the prescription of your existing glasses with high precision — quickly measuring sphere, cylinder, axis, add power, and prism. This information helps us:

  • Verify your current prescription accurately

  • Compare your existing glasses to your updated prescription

  • Ensure new lenses are made to the correct specifications


iCare Rebound Tonometry

No more air puff. The iCare tonometer measures your eye pressure (intraocular pressure) using a tiny, lightweight probe that gently touches the corneal surface for a fraction of a second. It's so fast and gentle that most patients don't even realize the measurement has been taken.

  • No anesthetic drops required

  • No air puff — patients love this

  • Quick, accurate, and comfortable

  • Essential for glaucoma screening and monitoring


Treatment Technology

Our treatment technology is just as advanced as our diagnostics. These devices power the therapeutic and aesthetic services that make Lakefront Eye Care | Aesthetics & Wellness unique:

Luvo Darwin™ (Lucent IPL + Refresh RF)

The centerpiece of our Dry Eye Aesthetics Spa. IPL incinerates inflammatory blood vessels and improves meibomian gland function, while RF unclogs glands and stimulates collagen production. Used for dry eye treatment, rosacea, sun damage, and skin rejuvenation.

BTL EMFace
