Beaver Medical Group (BMG) is expanding the range of ophthalmological services offered at its Banning Specialty Care Center (SCC). By relocating the SCC ophthalmology services within the facility and purchasing new technology, patients will have greater access and more convenience when they need eye care.
“Overall, it's a much more tranquil environment.”
"We have moved the department from the second floor to the first and acquired additional diagnostic equipment, allowing us to offer a more comprehensive range of services," states Janna Redmond, Banning Site Director. The newly remodeled ophthalmology department is closer to the main entrance, offering easier access for patients. Expanded facilities include six exam rooms, a separate procedure room, and camera room. A new visual field room houses equipment used to measure changes in peripheral vision, one of the symptoms of glaucoma. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness. A recently acquired InterOcular Lens (IOL) machine measures the lens of the eye of patients who require cataract surgery. Patients requiring evaluation before the Banning SCC purchased its new IOL machine had to travel to Redlands for the study.
