===Specialized tests===
'''[[Optical coherence tomography]] (OCT)''' is a medical technological platform used to assess ocular structures. The information is then used by physicians to assess staging of pathological processes and confirm clinical diagnoses. Subsequent OCT scans are used to assess the efficacy of managing diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

'''[[Optical coherence tomography angiography]] (OCTA)''' and '''[[Fluorescein angiography]]''' to visualize the vascular networks of the retina and choroid.

'''[[Electroretinography]]''' '''(ERG)''' measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the [[retina]], including the [[Photoreceptor cell|photoreceptors]] ([[Rod cell|rods]] and [[Cone cell|cones]]), inner retinal cells ([[Retinal bipolar cell|bipolar]] and [[Amacrine cell|amacrine]] cells), and the [[Retinal ganglion cell|ganglion cells]].

'''[[Electrooculography]]''' ('''EOG''') is a technique for measuring the corneo-retinal standing potential that exists between the front and the back of the human eye. The resulting signal is called the electrooculogram. Primary applications are in ophthalmological [[diagnosis]] and in recording [[Eye movement (sensory)|eye movements]].

'''[[Visual field test]]ing''' to detect dysfunction in central and [[peripheral vision]] which may be caused by various medical conditions such as [[glaucoma]], [[stroke]], [[pituitary disease]], [[brain tumour]]s or other neurological deficits.

'''[[Corneal topography]]''' is a [[Non-invasive (medical)|non-invasive]] [[medical imaging]] technique for mapping the anterior curvature of the [[cornea]], the outer structure of the [[Human eye|eye]].

[[Medical ultrasound|'''Ultrasonography''']] of the eyes may be performed by an ophthalmologist.
