Diagnostic Testing
That Sees Beneath the Surface

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward preserving sight. At Retina Associates of Greater Philadelphia, we use the most advanced diagnostic tools available to detect, monitor, and manage retinal conditions with precision and care. Whether you’re here for routine imaging or a complex evaluation, our testing technologies help uncover what the eye alone can’t reveal. With early detection, we can make timely decisions—and that can make all the difference.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

This non-invasive scan provides a detailed, cross-sectional view of your retina—like a 3D snapshot of its layers—helping us detect early signs of macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, macular holes, and epiretinal membranes.

Digital Fundus Photography

A high-resolution photo of the back of your eye (fundus) allows us to document and track changes in your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels over time. It is essential for tracking glaucoma, optic nerve changes, hypertensive retinopathy, and chronic retinal conditions like AMD.

Fundus Autofluorescence Imaging (FAF)

FAF shows natural patterns of fluorescence in the retina, which helps us assess cell health and detect early damage from conditions like macular degeneration and other retinal diseases.

Bright Scan Ultrasound (B Scan)

We use B-scan when the retina isn't visible due to dense cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, or retinal detachment. It's essential for trauma cases or emergencies when quick visualization is needed to make surgical decisions.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A)

Advanced non-invasive imaging that maps blood flow in the retina and choroid without injecting dye. Essential for visualizing vascular abnormalities in macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal vascular conditions.

Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography (IVFA)

An intravenous fluorescein dye test that maps blood flow in the retina to find leakage, blockage, or ischemia. Commonly used for diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, and macular degeneration complications.

Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA)

An intravenous indocyanine green dye test that uses near-infrared light to image the choroid (the layer beneath the retina). Helpful for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, central serous chorioretinopathy, and certain macular degeneration subtypes.
