100

A cloudy opacity of the crystalline lens.

Cataract

100

The clear front surface of the eye.

Cornea

100

This imaging modality measures retinal thickness and evaluates macular edema.

OCT

100

This test measures intraocular pressure.

Tonometry

100

Device used to measure corneal curvature

Keratometer

200

Elevated intraocular pressure associated with optic nerve damage.

Glaucoma

200

The structure that controls the amount of light entering the eye.

Iris

200

This imaging test uses dye injected into a vein to evaluate retinal circulation.

fluorescein angiography

200

This vision test measures best corrected acuity using letters at distance.

Snellen Vision Acuity Test

200

Instrument used to measure refractive error objectively.

Autorefractor

300

A retinal condition caused by diabetes affecting blood vessels.

Diabetic Retinopathy

300

The gel-like substance filling the posterior segment.

Vitreous

300

This imaging modality is commonly used to document optic nerve head appearance in glaucoma patients.

300

This test evaluates peripheral vision and glaucoma progression.

Visual Field Testing

300

Device used to measure corneal thickness.

Pachymeter

400

Age-related degeneration affecting central vision.

Macular Degeneration

400

This retinal structure provides sharp central vision.

Macula

400

This test evaluates the peripheral retina using widefield imaging technology such as Optos.

ultra-widefield retinal imaging

400

This instrument is used to examine anterior segment structures under magnification.

Fluorescein dye is used to evaluate this ocular surface condition.

corneal abrasion (or epithelial defect)

500

Device used to evaluate retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in glaucoma patients.
