Dr. Carpenter is the first eye surgeon in the state of Nevada to offer his patients the most advanced detection possible for glaucoma. This new laser, called the OCT3, scans the back of the eye with the highest resolution available allowing his patients the earliest detection possible for the subtle and insidious changes of glaucoma.

Clinically, the OCT3 produces the highest resolution possible by scanning at 820 nanometers of infrared light beam. The optic nerve, nerve fiber layer, and macula are not only put at a scale of less than 8 micrometers (the size of a red blood cell), but these layers can be reconfigured by scanning laser and then computer generated into a cross-sectional format for analysis.

Since Dr. Carpenter is an eye and facial surgeon, most vision and facial procedures done at the Eye & Cosmetic Surgery Center are covered by medical insurance - you do not need to have vision insurance. That means that your medical insurance will cover services needed to correct those droopy eyelids, annoying facial lesions or poor vision. Call the Center today for a free consultation.
