All five Eye Specialists of NEPA offices — Hazleton, Stroudsburg, Nanticoke, Pottsville, and Bangor — have optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), and fundus photography with autofluorescence. These tools are used, in Dr. Deom’s practice recommendation, to document a baseline for people starting or taking a GLP-1 medicine. They have not been shown to predict or prevent NAION.

The offices offer priority scheduling for a baseline or follow-up exam with this imaging set.
