Clarksburg Lion Member, Stumpie, demonstrating a device that measures peripheral vision.
Here is what the Doctor sees when checking a patient for peripheral vision.
There is a test in which leads are attached to different parts of the head to test the brains reaction to sight.
This is an IOL Master which measures the axle length - the length of the eye ball. Used to test for cataracts. The eye length averages 24 1/2 millimeters. By determining if the length is longer or shorter, the Doctor can calculate what lens will be needed.
Here is the IOL Master screen as seen by the Doctor
This is a Selecta II Laser used in treating glauoma patients.
This laser is used to stop vessels bleeding in the back of the eye. This condition occurs to people with diabetes.
This device takes digital pictures of the back part of the eye.
Here is an ultra sound report which can identify problems, such as a mass, tumor, detached retina, etc. condition.
This is an Optical Coherence Topographer (OCT) which takes pictures of the retina.
The next few pictures show the laser device used for lasik eye surgery. This can restore a person's eye sight back to or close to 20/20 vision. The club's web master, Joe, had similar surgery which reverted his 20/400 vision to 20/20. Today's efforts to correct and restore a person's eye sight goes to the core value of the Lions Clubs. The WV Lions Clubs' financial contributions have made most of this all possible. Let's keep up the good work and strive further to support the clinical and research effort of the WV Eye Institute.
