Cirrus HD-OCT
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
Technology in ophthalmology continues to advance at breakneck speed. At the Cherry Creek Eye Center, we are committed to offering the most technologically advanced therapeutic and diagnostic options for our patients.
We have just purchased the Cirrus HD-OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomograph). This is a clear upgrade from the Stratus OCT 3 that we have had for the past several years in that the images it provides are in high definition. For example, instead of having the capacity to perform 3,072 A-scans with the Stratus OCT 3, we are able to obtain 27,000 A-scans with the new technology. The image quality is markedly enhanced with the Cirrus HD-OCT and the scan patterns provide more viewing options.
The bottom line is that the Cirrus HD-OCT will be a valuable instrument in our armamentarium to help us diagnose macular disorders (macular degeneration) and optic nerve (glaucoma) diseases.

Welcome Dr. Perry Umlauf
Monday, May 4th, 2009
In an attempt to be even more available to our patients, I have hired Dr. Perry Umlauf to work in our office on a regular basis. Dr. Umlauf is both a board certified and fully licensed optometrist who has been in practice since 1989. Due to a job opportunity, he and his wife recently relocated to the Denver area from Central Pennsylvania.
Dr. Umlauf’s experience is in the area of medical optometry having worked closely with an ophthalmology practice in Lebanon, PA for the last 20 years. He is also skilled in the fitting of multiple kinds of contact lenses. Dr. Umlauf was voted Central Pennsylvania’s Optometrist of the year by the Optometric Society there in 1997 and 2008. He was also voted Optometric Association’s optometrist of the year in Pennsylvania in 2009.
We think Dr. Umlauf will be a great addition to our experienced staff.
