Examinations


Examinations are provided by a combination
of the doctor and the paraoptometric assistants. We use the latest in computer and laser instruments to ensure the best result.

The examination will vary from patient to patient depending on the health of the individual and their visual needs.

Typically, it may include:


  • Medical History
  • Intraocular Pressure Measurement (for glaucoma detection)
  • Computer Enhanced Refraction
  • Pachymetry (for evaluation of corneal diseases and glaucoma)
  • Slit Lamp Examination (for microscopic evaluation of the front part of the eye)
  • Pupillary Dilation (for cataract, retina and vitreal evaluation)
  • Blood Pressure
  • Visual Field Test
  • Corneal Topography
  • Topography (for contact lens fitting and corneal disease)
  • Total Vision Analysis
  • Retinal Tomography. We use our OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) instrument to actual see under the retina for macular degeration, diabetic eye disease and glaucoma diagnosis.
  • Treatment Plan... this is where we decide what treatment is best for your particular case, whether it means glasses, contacts, CRT, lasik, cataract surgery or medication to treat a disease you may have such as glaucoma.

    Paragon CRT
    Dr. Oosterbaan is happy to announce the newest advancement in refractive correction options, Corneal Refractive Therapy, with Paragon CRT which provides freedom from the hassles of daytime contact lenses and glasses. Paragon CRT temporarily corrects nearsightedness with or without moderate astigmatism. For more information on this new technology, go to this website www.paragoncrt.com

    Stratus OCT

    We now offers highly advanced technology to diagnose a wide range of eye care symptoms. Dr. Hans Oosterbaan uses an innovative scanning system called Stratus OCT to produce highly detailed images of the retina, the innermost layer of the interior of the eye. The Stratus OCT is capable of seeing layers of the retina that can not be seen with the naked eye.

    Dr. Oosterbaan explains, “I am very excited about this instrument. It has enabled me to detect glaucoma sooner and to better treat diagnose cases of glaucoma. It is also very helpful with macular degeneration and any retina problem. I would not be without one anymore. Stratus OCT is an important advance that will provide real benefits to many of my patients. It enables the internal structures of the eyes to be viewed, so problems can be identified and treated in the best way possible. It is a powerful tool that helps eye care practitioners to protect a patient’s vision like never before.”

    The breakthrough images of Stratus OCT provide detailed, x-ray–like images of the structures affected by glaucoma and other abnormalities of the retina, including detached retina, macular holes, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and more. Stratus OCT never touches the eye, so there’s no discomfort. It is also safe and requires only minutes to scan the eye.

     

    Laser Refractive Surgery Services

    Dr. Oosterbaan performs all pre and post operation examinations and treatments. He has a partnership with Dell Laser Consultants of Austin to perform surgery. By doing this, we save the patient money and they have the added convenience of reduced trips to Austin. In most cases only one trip to Austin is necessary and that is for the surgery itself.

    iLASIK combines the accuracy of the Excimer laser with the quick healing characteristics of a Femtosecond created flap. Using a Femtosecond laser, a thin, protective flap of corneal tissue, attached by a hinge on one side, is folded back so the inner tissue of the cornea (stroma) can be treated with the excimer laser.

    After the tissue is reshaped, the corneal flap is folded back over the treated area where it bonds securely, without the need for stitches. With less surface area to heal, iLASIK patients recover very quickly and most experience little, if any, discomfort. Functional vision returns very rapidly, with the majority of patients seeing 20/20 the next day. Because of its exceptional results, this is the only laser and procedure that is approved for NASA astronauts.

    To be a good candidate for LASIK, the cornea must have sufficient thickness to allow for the flap to be made with the laser and still have enough tissue under the flap to allow for the proper amount of tissue to be removed. If a patient's cornea is to thin, if their pupil dilates beyond the treatment zone at night, or if they have severe dry eyes, other forms of refractive surgery may be an option.

    Since only the edge around the corneal flap needs to heal, visual recovery is rapid and patients report little or no post-operative pain. Additionally, there is less risk of scarring or developing corneal haze. There is also less need for post-operative medication with LASIK than PRK.

    Dr. Oosterbaan only offers advanced blade-free custom vision correction. This is an all laser procedure that corrects specific imperfections that are unique to your eye. These procedures have been shown to increase fighter pilot performance, and everyday night vision. The only two procedures offered by Dr. Oosterbaan and Dr. Dell, are also the only 2 approved procedures for our fighter pilots in all branches of the military. Now that this technology is available to the public, Dr. Oosterbaan believes that every one of his patient deserves the world best technology and vision.
