Precision diagnostics

Before operating, you have to know exactly what is happening.

Dr. Daniel Hagen Padilla examines every eye with the most complete diagnostic equipment in Hermosillo: corneal tomography, aberration analysis, visual field testing and retinal imaging. An accurate diagnosis determines the right treatment — and often that treatment is not surgery.

Equipment to see what others cannot

The practice brings together a diagnostic arsenal few others in Hermosillo can match: it makes it possible to measure, photograph and map the eye before deciding on any treatment. These are some of the studies performed here.

  • Pentacam

    Three-dimensional tomography of the cornea. Detects keratoconus and thinning that a conventional topographer cannot resolve.

  • iTrace

    Analyses the eye's optical aberrations and separates whether lost visual quality comes from the cornea or the lens.

  • IOLMaster 700

    Measures axial length to micrometre precision so the correct intraocular lens can be calculated.

  • Zeiss Humphrey field analyser

    Maps the full visual field. It is the central tool for detecting glaucoma and following it over time.

  • Visucam 500

    Retinal imaging with autofluorescence and fluorescein angiography to document diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Plus further diagnostic and surgical equipment at the practice.
