Our Technology

Widefield Retinal Imaging

The Eidon Widefield Retinal Imaging system is the latest addition to Lowes Taaffe & Bhikoo Optometrists. This advanced, laser-based technology provides a much clearer and wider view—up to 150 degrees—of the retina, compared to the 30–45 degrees offered by traditional cameras. It is non-invasive, quick and highly effective on seeing through cataracts, detecting early signs of eye disease. 

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) provides a cross-sectional view of the retina, allowing us to detect issues such as swelling, fluid, or bleeding that may not be visible during a standard eye exam. This non-invasive scan is key to identifying early signs of eye conditions. At Lowes Taaffe & Bhikoo Optometrists, our Optopol OCT is paired with the Optopol visual field machine, offering a comprehensive assessment of glaucoma risk and visual function.

Axial Length Measurement

Axial length measurement is a key tool in monitoring and managing myopia (short-sightedness), especially in children. It measures the length of the eye, which helps us track how quickly the eye is growing—a major factor in myopia progression. This simple, non-invasive test allows for more precise myopia management and early intervention to help protect long-term vision.

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography is a non-invasive scan that maps the shape and curvature of the front surface of the eye (the cornea). It’s essential for fitting contact lenses—especially Ortho-K and specialty lenses—and for detecting conditions like keratoconus or irregular astigmatism.
