new cutting-edge optometry tech
Rising Star Optometry is thrilled to announce the adoption of cutting-edge technologies that enhance the practice and elevate patient care. Rising Star Optometry has invested in advanced tools to provide superior eye care services, and is committed to optimizing visual performance for school, work, and play.
LIFEMETER TECHNOLOGY
One of the latest advancements is the LifeMeter, a cutting-edge device that measures skin carotenoid levels. These levels are directly linked to macular carotenoids, which play a crucial role in vision performance and overall eye health. By evaluating these key indicators, Rising Star Optometry provides personalized, proactive eye care, helping patients receive the most effective treatments to maintain optimal vision.
The LifeMeter measures the level of carotenoids in your skin, which reflects your overall intake of plant-based nutrients. Higher carotenoid levels are linked to better visual performance, while lower levels may contribute to glare sensitivity, poor night vision, eye strain, and headaches. This assessment provides valuable insight into your nutritional health and its impact on your vision.
optos TECHNOLOGY
Rising Star Optometry has integrated the Optos widefield retinal imaging system into their practice. This state-of-the-art technology allows for a comprehensive view of the back of the eye without dilation. Widefield retinal imaging provides a detailed picture, enabling the early detection and management of eye conditions such as retinal tears, detachments, and other retinal disorders. This advanced imaging system ensures that patients undergo thorough, yet comfortable, eye examinations, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnoses.
High-resolution retinal images provide a comprehensive view of your eye health, allowing us to detect early signs of conditions like macular degeneration, melanoma, and glaucoma. Additionally, these images can reveal indicators of systemic diseases such as hypertension, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, high cholesterol, and diabetes, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
Rising Star Optometry's mission to optimize visual performance is at the heart of these technological advancements. By leveraging the LifeMeter and Optos systems, the practice is better equipped to address the visual needs of patients, from academic performance to daily activities, and even recreational pursuits. The adoption of these technologies’ underscores Rising Star Optometry's dedication to staying at the forefront of optometric care and continually seeking innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes.
