What type of testing is performed in the ancillary testing room?

Diagnostic testing in the ancillary testing room plays a crucial role in the ophthalmology practice. This room is specifically designated for various tests that provide valuable information regarding a patient's ocular health and visual function. Common procedures performed here include visual field tests, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans, fundus photography, and other imaging techniques that help identify and monitor eye diseases, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.

The focus on diagnostic testing in this setting ensures that patients receive thorough evaluations without the distractions or demands present during surgical procedures or routine check-ups. By concentrating on diagnostics, the ancillary testing room supports the overarching goal of providing tailored treatment plans based on accurate and comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition. The nature of the tests conducted here directly influences patient outcomes and assists ophthalmologists in making informed decisions about necessary interventions.
