New, state-of-the-art optometric equipment donated by FDC Foundation improves patient care and clinical education
Four new pieces of equipment have recently been added to the Waterloo Clinic's imaging suite and one to the Ocular Disease Service, thanks to a donation of nearly $800,000 by the FDC Foundation, which supports charitable organizations in the areas of health, education and housing.
The tools allow for sophisticated imaging of the retina at the back of the eye and the cornea at the front of the eye, as well as measuring factors, such as the length of the eyeball, that affect the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness. One piece of equipment adds a new dimension to the treatment of dry eye disease.
