Centre for Eye Health provides access to the latest diagnostic instrumentation for assessing the structural and functional integrity of the eye and visual pathways.
Below is a list and brief description of the instrumentation currently available for use upon referral by registered eye-health practitioners. It is envisaged that additional equipment will be purchased during the future operation of the Centre.
