Our office incorporates some of the most trusted and sophisticated instruments in modern optometry. We pride ourselves in being the most technologically advanced optometry practice in the San Marcos and surrounding area. These technologies allow our eye doctors to detect eye diseases earlier, manage complex conditions with greater accuracy, and provide each patient with the highest level of personalized care.
Even our standard eye exams incorporate much of this technology! We’re confident you won’t get a more thorough eye exam anywhere else.

The Oculus Pentacam AXL Wave provides a comprehensive 3D analysis of both the front and back surfaces of the cornea. In addition to mapping corneal shape and thickness, it measures axial length (eye length), wavefront aberrations, lens clarity, and much more. This advanced imaging is essential for diagnosing and managing corneal diseases such as keratoconus, as well as monitoring myopia management. The Oculus Pentacam is essential for custom specialty lens fitting of Orthokeratology lenses, scleral lenses, or GP lenses. It is rare for most optometry offices to have this advanced piece of equipment.

The Medmont Meridia is an advanced Placido-based topographer designed for specialty contact lens fitting and corneal surface analysis for disease detection and monitoring. Its high-resolution imaging allows for precise mapping of the cornea, making it ideal for custom scleral and GP lens designs.

The Visionix I-Vue OCT produces detailed cross-sectional scans of the retina and optic nerve, enabling early detection and management of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal diseases. It also includes anterior segment scanning for corneal and angle evaluations, giving a full picture of both the front and back of the eye. We also use this anterior segment scanning technology to enhance specialty contact lens fittings, improving precision and customization for each patient’s particular needs.

The Optos Daytona captures ultra-wide digital images of the retina in seconds, providing a panoramic view of more than 80% of the retina in a single image. In many cases, this can be performed without the need for dilation, offering patients a faster and more comfortable experience. Its autofluorescence technology detects early signs of retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment that may not be visible through traditional imaging. This technology allows us to skip the dilation in many cases!
The Topcon CT-80 uses a gentle puff of air to measure eye pressure, offering quick, reliable readings used for glaucoma screening. This method is fast, comfortable, and suitable for patients of all ages.

The I-care IC200 measures intraocular pressure comfortably and accurately without the need for numbing drops. This “no air-puff” device uses rebound technology; it serves as an alternative to the traditional air puff test, which many patients find to be a much more pleasant experience. This handheld device can make taking pressure for handicapped or wheelchair bound patients much easier.

The Nidek AFC 330 captures high-quality digital images of the retina and optic nerve. Its stereo imaging feature creates a stereo 3D views that enable detailed assessment of subtle retinal changes, including the optic nerve. This technology is especially useful in identifying and tracking diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions.

The Oculus Easyfield evaluates peripheral vision to detect and monitor conditions like glaucoma, optic nerve disease, and neurological disorders. Its compact design and advanced testing algorithms provide accurate, repeatable results for reliable long-term vision monitoring.
At San Marcos Vision Center, our investment in advanced diagnostic technology ensures every patient receives the most comprehensive, comfortable, and accurate eye examination possible. By combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge innovation, we continue to uphold the highest standards for any patient that walk into our practice.
