Retinal angiography
Photographs of the back of the eye after injection of a dye (fluorescein or indocyanine), to visualise the state of the retinal vessels. Useful in
retinal vein occlusions,
diabetic retinopathy,
AMD, retinal inflammation and certain tumours — to make the diagnosis, assess severity and guide treatment.

Angle OCT (Anterion Analyser)
A
latest-generation Swept Source OCT that explores the anterior segment in high definition:
corneal topography, biometry of the lens and anterior chamber,
iridocorneal angles. Indicated before cataract surgery, when there is a risk of
angle-closure glaucoma, or to screen for corneal disease.
Quick and painless · contact lenses removed during the examination · no visual discomfort afterwards
Biometry
High-precision optical measurements of the eye, taken
in a few seconds while you look at a light — they make it possible to
calculate the made-to-measure implant before
cataract surgery.
Painless, without dilation · in the pre-operative assessment, the associated dilated fundus examination means you should not drive afterwards
Visual field test
An assessment of everything you perceive while looking at a fixed point: it shows how the optic nerve is working,
from the retina to the visual pathways of the brain. A key examination in the follow-up of
glaucoma.
Seated in front of a dome, in the dark · a buzzer in hand to signal each light stimulus you see · requires good concentration
OCT (Macular / Optic nerve)
Optical Coherence Tomography studies the retina, optic nerve and cornea in very precise cross-sections, using a light wave. Measurements are compared with a normative database and with your previous examinations — essential for the diagnosis and follow-up of
AMD,
diabetes and
glaucoma.
Seated, chin on a chin rest · painless, no contact · most often without dilation (OCT Spectralis)
OCT Angiography
Non-invasive analysis, without injection of dye, of the retinal vascular network, in 2 or 3 dimensions: looking for abnormalities of retinal or choroidal perfusion, in particular in AMD, and monitoring of injection treatments (anti-VEGF). Often supplemented, if needed, by angiography with dye.
Ultra-Widefield Retinal Photography
A colour photograph of the retina (Eidon device), centred on the macula, the optic nerve or any peripheral lesion. It provides a reliable comparison from one visit to the next: follow-up of patients with diabetes, screening for early signs of AMD, monitoring of a naevus.
Quick and painless · short flash · dilation sometimes necessary (avoid driving afterwards)
Corneal topography
A camera rotating through 360° generates maps of the cornea’s
curvature, thickness and relief. It is the reference examination for screening and follow-up of
keratoconus, and is essential for the pre-operative assessment of
refractive surgery and for
contact lens fitting.
No contact with the eye · no discomfort after the examination
UBM Ultrasound
Ultrasound Bio Microscopy: a very high-frequency, non-invasive imaging technique of the anterior segment — cornea, iris, lens and ciliary processes. It visualises the iridocorneal angle to assess glaucoma, screen for a tumour, investigate an anterior chamber abnormality or plan surgery.
B-Mode Ultrasound
Ultrasound of the posterior segment: cross-sections of the whole length of the eye and measurements of the globe, to explore the back of the eye when the media are cloudy — intravitreal haemorrhage, dense cataract, corneal opacity — follow diseases and prepare for surgery.
