Nerve Fiber Layer Analysis

Nerve Fiber Analysis (NFA) is a test which can detect glaucoma in its earliest stages – years, even decades before conventional testing methods. Utilizing a combination of polarized light and diode beam scanning technology, the NFA test measures the transparent structure in the back of your eye called the Retinal Nerve Fiber.

In Cat Scan-like fashion the instrument takes several cross-sectional images of the retina in less than one second, and builds a three dimensional model of the nerve fiber layer. The computer then analyzes the data and highlights any abnormal areas. The results help Dr. Reiff make the best treatment decisions for his patients. Nothing touches your eye. You simply look at a soft light and our technician quickly takes the images- that’s all there is to it!

SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty)

Open Angle Glaucoma occurs when there is either a sustained increase in fluid production or a decrease in fluid drainage.  A new and advanced treatment for Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is now available at Reiff Eye Center. SLT selectively targets and activates the specific pigment cells associated with eye fluid drainage.  It increases fluid outflow thereby reducing eye pressure without the burning or scarring associated with the more traditional Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT).  This 15 minute office procedure often reduces or eliminates the need for lifelong use of expensive eye drops.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry Eye Syndrome is a serious yet often ignored and more often trivialized problem that is experienced by 75% of people over the age of 65.  A symptom checklist includes:

Punctal Plugs

Tears drain from the eye through the lid's punctal openings. Punctal occlusion acts very much like a stopper in a sink.  When the punctal opening in the lid is closed tears stay on the eye longer. Punctal plugs are the least invasive of the long term solutions to Dry Eye Syndrome. 

A small, soft silicone or collagen plug about the size of a pinhead or a sesame seed is non-surgically inserted into the natural tear drainage punctal opening.  The entire procedure can be performed at Reiff Eye Center within a few minutes and is reversible.

Other treatments for Dry Eye Syndrome available at Reiff Eye Center include diet change, antibiotics, Restasis, various non-preserved artificial tears and lid hygiene- all used to alter the quantity and quality of a patient's natural tears.

ReZoom™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL)

ReZoom™ Multifocal Intraocular Lens (IOL) helps patients focus clearly on objects at a range of distances and in varied light conditions, so they can be free of glasses or contact lenses after cataract surgery. The ReZoom™ lens features five spherical segments with smooth transitions in between so the eyes focus seamlessly from one distance to the next. The center of the lens is optimized for bright light and distance vision, and the outermost zone accommodates for low-light distance vision (such as when driving at night). The ReZoom™ is also specially designed to reduce internal reflections and minimize glare.
