Whether it’s the tests that are performed, time or they have fear that something may be wrong with their vision.
CLARIYE at our Noblesville Facility
We have good news! At Dr. Amy Walden and Associates, we use the most advanced eye technology for our comprehensive eye exams. CLARIFYE is one of the newest digital eye exams from LensCrafters that allows doctors to gather five times more information about your overall eye health and in an fraction of the time. This exam is so precise, it maps the curvature of your cornea, which gives your eye doctor a fingerprint of your eye. It shows the small changes that happen in your eyes over time and can also give you the different measurements of your day and night vision.
When people have eye exams with CLARIFYE we recommend our patients to include optomap as part of their eye exam. If you have not heard of the optomap it is a retinal imaging device which shows a wide 82% view of your retina at one time. With other devices, about 15% to 45% of your retina is viewed. Not only is it more precise, but it is painless, fast and comfortable. This is a great device for all ages and suitable for the entire family.
