White Bear Eye Clinic uses an instrument called MX2. This is a camera that captures detailed images of your eyelids and the front surface of your eyes.

These images are utilized to diagnose and monitor conditions such as Dry Eye Disease, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, corneal scarring, or eyelid lesions.

White Bear Eye Clinic uses the LifeMeter as a screening tool to be proactive about protecting your lifelong macular health.

LifeMeter measures the level of protective nutrients called carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin) in your body by scanning the skin of your fingertip. These nutrients help protect the retina and support eye health. Higher carotenoid levels are associated with a lower risk of progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

RetEval measures how well your retina and optic nerve respond to light by recording their natural electrical signals. This painless test can detect changes in eye function before vision is affected, helping identify people at higher risk of developing or worsening eye diseases such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

The Radius XR Visual Field test uses a virtual-reality headset to check your side (peripheral) vision. It helps detect early vision loss caused by eye diseases like glaucoma, as well as certain neurological conditions, often before you notice any symptoms.

An OCT (optical coherence tomography) scan uses light waves to create detailed, 3D images of the macula and optic nerve.

It works like an ultrasound, but uses light instead of sound to show the individual layers inside the eye. This allows your eye doctor to detect and monitor changes from conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and other retinal disorders.
