We want you to have the very best vision possible. You can trust your eyes, or the eyes of your loved ones, to us. Our vision facility has state-of-the art equipment, and our friendly staff are here to serve your vision needs.

Our equipment includes:

Digital Retinal Imaging System
also called the Fundus Camera™

Eye diseases of almost any type can be detected and monitored with this technology.

Scout Topographer™
This advanced machine virtually contours and charts the topography of your eye, and it detects forms of eye disease and aids in diagnosis. It is especially useful for patients who have astigmatism, kerataconus, post-corneal surgery irregularities (LASIK, RK, PRK, PK), or have the need for bifocals but prefer to wear contact lenses. These contacts, called Wave Contact Lenses™, are on the cutting edge of eye-care and available now at Hamilton Vision & Eyecare. Contact us for more information or to make an appointment.

Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in the United States – affecting about three million Americans. Unfortunately, up to half of them are unaware that they have the disease. Glaucoma develops without warning. Too often, treatment isn’t sought until a degree of vision has deteriorated. At that point, steps may be taken to control the progression of the disease however, the vision that is noticeably impaired is lost forever.

The key to preventing vision loss is early glaucoma detection. And, since Dr. Cobb recently acquired the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT II), it has never been easier for residents of Northwest Alabama to be diagnosed for this blinding disease – often before vision suffers.

The HRT II is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope. It not only detects the very early stages of glaucoma, it also provides eye doctors with essential information for monitoring the disease in follow-up exams. By scanning the optic nerve and adjacent nerve fiber layer, the HRT II produces a three dimensional topographic map. It generates extremely accurate, detailed data and comprehensive analysis that simply is not possible to obtain with traditional examinations.

The HRT II exam is fast, safe, and usually does not require dilating the eye. While a patient sits comfortably in a stationary position, a laser scans the eye for just a few seconds (at a lower energy level than that produced from a television remote control).

Glaucoma can develop in anyone. However, some people are considered at higher risk than others – including individuals over age 60, African-Americans over age 40, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of glaucoma.

If you, or someone you know, is at high risk for glaucoma contact Hamilton Vision and EyeCare at 205-921-5499. Click here for a patient brochure to get more information about the HRTII machine and how it can help diagnose glaucoma.
