Zeiss GDx Nerve Fibre Testing Machine
Glaucoma The Sneaky Thief of Sight
Introducing the revolutionary
Zeiss GDx™ exam
It’s like no other test.
Because glaucoma is like no other disease.
What makes the Zeiss GDx exam
so revolutionary?
Unlike the puff test, the Zeiss GDx exam actually
lets your doctor see the pattern and thickness of the nerve fibers in the back of your eyes, then compares
the results to normal values. If your nerve fibers are thinner than normal, this could indicate glaucoma
long before any vision has been lost. As a result, we will have more time to treat the disease.
How does the Zeiss GDx exam work?
The test is a quick and comfortable part of a complete eye exam. Plus, you don’t have to have your pupils dilated. You simply look into the Zeiss GDx system while it safely scans the back of your eye. Total exam time usually takes less than a minute, and the system creates easy-to-read images that we can quickly analyse.
