Technology & Services

Our Digital Retinal Cameras take pictures of the back of your eyes and allow Dr. Munson to detect changes in the retina. This preventative technology can help early treatment of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

The YAG laser is a quick, painless treatment that clears cloudiness after cataract surgery by creating a small opening in the lens capsule. It restores sharp, clear vision in just a few minutes.

SLT is a gentle laser treatment used to lower eye pressure in patients with glaucoma. It helps improve fluid drainage in the eye, protecting your optic nerve and preserving vision.

Diopsys® NOVA™ technology allows us to do electroretinography (ERG) and measure visual evoked potential (VEP). Fort Collins Family Eye Care is currently only one of two offices in the state of Colorado offering this technology. This technology allows us to recognize disease and other changes at the cellular level.

The ICare® Tonometer measures your intraocular pressure quickly and painlessly. This measurement allows Dr. Munson to evaluate your risk of glaucoma and provide early intervention if necessary. We measure your eye pressure at every exam to monitor your complete eye health and provide the most comprehensive preventative care possible.

Virtual Vision™ Visual Field Headset delivers accurate, portable, and comfortable visual field testing through advanced virtual reality technology. It provides comprehensive threshold and screening exams for detecting and monitoring glaucoma and other visual field defects. With wireless convenience and engaging patient interaction, the Virtual Vision headset enhances the testing experience while delivering precise, reliable results comparable to traditional perimetry systems.

EyeEnvi™ by TempSure® uses gentle radiofrequency (RF) technology to safely and effectively treat the delicate areas around the eyes. By delivering precise heat to stimulate collagen production and improve meibomian gland function, EyeEnvi helps reduce dry eye symptoms while rejuvenating the skin. This noninvasive treatment offers a soothing, spa-like experience with no downtime—promoting both ocular comfort and refreshed, youthful-looking eyes.

LipiView® II Ocular Surface Interferometer with Dynamic Meibomian Imaging™ (DMI) measures lipid layer thickness (LLT) with nanometer accuracy, captures blink dynamics, and images meibomian gland structure. The LipiView II Interferometer features patented technology that provides a sophisticated assessment of factors that contribute to dry eye. Compelling visuals and video captures provide a unique opportunity to educate patients about their personal ocular health.

LipiFlow® is a therapeutic treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction. By combining heat with a therapeutic pulsation to the eyelids, LipiFlow® removes blockages and helps your meibomian glands properly function and produce needed oils. The result? Healthy tear film and dry eye relief.

ScoutPro™ is a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that provides high-resolution imaging and detailed analysis of the anterior segment and ocular surface. With its intuitive design and precision optics, ScoutPro enables accurate documentation of eyelid, corneal, and conjunctival conditions. The system’s advanced imaging capabilities support better clinical decision-making and patient education, helping practitioners clearly demonstrate findings and track treatment progress over time.

LashCam® by BlephEx® allows Dr. Munson to clearly see the biofilm buildup on your eyelashes and eyelids to assess the degree of inflammation and blepharitis you’re experiencing. These photos give her valuable information to build your personalized treatment plan, providing preventative and early intervention for blepharitis.

BlephEx® is a painless in-office procedure performed by your eye care professional. A revolutionary new patented BlephEx® hand piece is used to very precisely and carefully spin a medical grade micro-sponge along the edge of your eyelids and lashes, removing scurf and debris, and exfoliating your eyelids. The patented micro-sponge is disposable and for optimal cleaning and exfoliating, a fresh clean one is used for each individual eyelid. The eyes are rinsed well afterwards. The procedure lasts 6-8 minutes. Most patients report simply a tickling sensation. A numbing drop is usually placed in each eye prior to treatment for increased comfort. After the procedure, the patient is given instructions on how to maintain their clean eyelids with regular nightly lid hygiene. Since home treatments are only semi-effective, the procedure is typically repeated at 4-6 month intervals.

Lacrifill is a long-lasting eye drop alternative that helps keep your eyes comfortably hydrated by sealing in your natural tears. It’s especially helpful for people with chronic dry eye who want relief without daily drops.

We offer safe and precise removal of eyelid and facial lesions using advanced techniques such as cryotherapy (freezing), radiofrequency (Ellman unit), and biopsy when needed. These options help us treat or diagnose skin concerns with minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Click below to schedule an appointment or learn more about our lesion removal services.

Phototherapy utilizes color light therapy through a Syntonizer to balance the visual system and enhance overall visual function. By exposing the eyes to specific wavelengths of light, this treatment can help improve visual field performance, support binocular coordination, and reduce symptoms of visual stress. Using precise color stimulation, phototherapy promotes neurological and ocular harmony—helping patients experience greater visual comfort, clarity, and focus.

The Heart Sound Recorder is a non-invasive tool that listens to the rhythm and tone of your heart. It gives us insight into how well your nervous system and circulation are working, which can impact your eye health.

Vibrant Wellness Functional Analysis offers advanced diagnostic testing designed to uncover underlying imbalances that affect overall health and vision. Using comprehensive lab data, this analysis provides insight into nutritional, hormonal, and metabolic factors that may influence ocular and systemic wellness. The results help guide personalized treatment plans, supporting optimal function and long-term well-being.

Neurolens® technology uses the advanced SightSync® device to precisely measure eye misalignment that can contribute to headaches, eye strain, neck discomfort, and dry eyes. With these measurements, Sequel® Lenses are customized using your unique Compensation Curve to gently realign the eyes and relieve symptoms associated with digital vision syndrome and trigeminal dysphoria—providing clear, comfortable vision all day long.

Our Oculus Topographer allows Dr. Munson to get a detailed physical picture of the structures in the front of the eye, including the Meibomian glands, which allows her to diagnose complex diseases such as Dry Eye Disease.

Our HD Analyzer™ allows Dr. Munson to objectively determine whether your tear film or lens are contributing to a loss of vision quality. This can help determine if the best treatment option for you right now is Lasik, cataract surgery, or dry eye care.

Some types of dry eye disease occur when your eyes do not produce enough tears or poor-quality tears are produced. It is essential to gather a sample of tears from each eye using the TearLab device to measure osmolarity (the saltiness of your tears). As osmolarity in your tears increases, ocular surface cells become damaged. Once a diagnosis is made, the earliest form of preventative care will be discussed with Dr. Munson and the Wellness team. Additional inflammatory markers specific to systemic diseases and allergy testing will be analyzed and measured with this technology.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans your eyes and takes images of your retina that allow Dr. Munson to see the tissue in your eyes clearly, in order to diagnose and evaluate retinal diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
