Diagnostic Ophthalmology Services:
1. Autorefractometer: This device measures the refractive error of the eye, which is used to determine a person's prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
2. Slit Lamp Biomicroscope: This instrument allows the doctor to examine the eye under high magnification with a beam of light. It is used to diagnose most of the conditions,
involving anterior segment of eye.
3. Indirect Ophthalmoscope: This device allows the doctor to see a wide view of the inside of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. It is used to diagnose a variety of eye conditions involving posterior segment of eye, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal  detachment, and macular degeneration.
4. Direct Ophthalmoscope: This is a handheld instrument that allows the doctor to see a more limited view of the inside of the eye. It is used to quickly assess the health of the retina and optic nerve.
5. A-scan: This device uses ultrasound waves to measure the length of the eye. This measurement is important for calculating the appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) power for cataract surgery.
6. Non-contact tonometer: This instrument measures the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). IOP is an important risk factor for glaucoma.
7. Visual acuity chart & trial lens set: This instrument measures visual acuity. It used to detect refractive error & prescribe appropriate spectacle correction.
