Our Technology
At Ticho Eye Associates, we’re dedicated to using the latest in state-of-the-art techniques to improve your eye health, enhance your vision, and rejuvenate your facial appearance. We have invested in a range of sophisticated ophthalmic and aesthetic technologies to further elevate the level of care we provide at our premier Chicago Ridge, IL, Tinley Park, IL, and Munster, IN locations.
Ophthalmic Technologies:
LenSx® Laser System
Our ophthalmologists use the LenSx femtosecond laser system from Alcon to perform laser refractive cataract surgeries. LenSx employs computer-automated light pulses to create clean incisions in the anterior chamber of the eye and break up a cataract, or clouding within the lens. This blade-free surgical approach incorporates 3D digital mapping and real-time imaging, increasing precision and accuracy while reducing treatment and healing times.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
This advanced OCT system from Zeiss works through noninvasive light waves to scan your eye and capture cross-sectional images of the retina. Our ophthalmologists utilize optical coherence tomography to evaluate the individual layers of the retina and optic nerve head, and plot and measure the thickness of these tissues. With this technology, we are better able to diagnose and identify treatment options for eye conditions, like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease.
Lumenis® Selecta Trio™
As a multifunctional laser platform, the Lumenis Selecta Trio provides an advanced modality for performing glaucoma, retinal, and cataract laser therapies. The system features a homogenous laser beam and an integrated optics system designed to enhance treatment accuracy and safety during ophthalmic procedures, such as trabeculoplasty, capsulotomy, and iridotomy.
Zeiss Clarus 700 Ultra-Wide Field Imaging
Our skilled eye care specialists use the Clarus 700 retinal camera to screen for diabetic retinopathy, abnormalities in the eye’s vascular network, and other ophthalmic concerns. With advanced features, like high-resolution true-color imaging and fluorescein angiography, this wide-field imaging system increases our ability to identify retinal conditions in the earlier phases.
IOLMaster® Optical Biometer
With this advanced, noninvasive optical biometry platform from Zeiss, our vision experts measure various anatomical aspects of eye health. The IOLMaster unit works through infrared laser light to measure the diameter of the iris, curvature of the cornea, and other characteristics. We use this information to determine the ideal power of the intraocular lenses needed to complete cataract surgery and achieve optimal results.
Humphrey® Visual Field (HVF) Analyzer from Zeiss
We implement the latest in visual field testing to assess peripheral vision, identify blind spots, and evaluate for glaucoma. The HVF Analyzer from Zeiss is used to measure the peripheral field of view while the eye is fixed on a central spot. It can minimize testing time while allowing for greater efficiency and accuracy in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma conditions.
Zeiss Corneal Topographer
Corneal topography is a diagnostic ophthalmic procedure performed to map out the shape of the cornea. Our advanced system employs state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology that allows our eye experts to identify abnormalities that may go undetected with traditional testing methods. We use this technology to diagnose, monitor, and treat corneal diseases and injuries, and when planning other ophthalmic procedures, such as cataract surgery or LASIK laser eye surgery.
Aesthetic Technologies:
HydraFacial®
The HydraFacial system offers a customized approach to meeting your skin care needs, from reviving a dull complexion to targeting common skin concerns, like acne or rosacea. The patented technology works to cleanse, exfoliate, extract, nourish, and energize your skin for a healthier, more vibrant glow.
Sciton® Laser Technology
To help our patients achieve their aesthetic goals, we proudly incorporate Sciton laser technology when performing a number of cosmetic services. Sciton lasers utilize the power of light energy to treat damaged skin and stimulate the body’s natural healing properties. Treatment results can reveal a more even skin tone, improved texture, and a healthier overall complexion.
InMode Radiofrequency (RF) Device
To perform aesthetic treatments, such as minimally invasive facial contouring, we utilize RF technology from InMode. Radiofrequency stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin to help rejuvenate a youthful appearance from the inside out. InMode RF treatments may be provided to tighten the skin around the eyes, including the eyelids and the brow, or to reduce the appearance of a double chin.
