Ophthalmology Diagnostic Tests

In addition to routine ophthalmic tests such as measuring tear production and fluorescein staining, the following specialized diagnostics are available:

Tonometry (measuring intraocular pressure)
Electroretinography (evaluates the health of the retina)
Ocular ultrasound
Gonioscopy (examination of the filtration angle in the eye for at-risk glaucoma patients)
Blood pressure measurement (for hypertensive retinal detachment)
Retinal imaging
Imaging of the orbit and surrounding tissues by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Dacryocystorhinography (imaging of the nasolacrimal system)
Diagnostic intraocular aspirates including aqueous, iris, vitreous and subretinal
