Optomap Retinal Imaging
Our Optomap retinal imaging device is a tool that assists us in the evaluation of your retina. With the Optomap we can discover any abnormalities or confirm the health of your retina, diagnose any potentially harmful diseases, and if necessary, determine the best course of action.
The sensitive tissue that makes up the retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases that could lead to loss of vision or in some cases blindness. The early detection of any retinal abnormality is crucial to maintaining your ocular and systemic health because in most cases of eye disease, in the early stages, you will experience no signs or symptoms.
The Optomap is a simple, non-invasive procedure. In less than a second we can generate a high-resolution, digital, color image of your retina. This image becomes a part of your permanent medical record and enables us to see areas of your retina which are not normally visible, measure aspects of your eye, and magnify some of the finer details. We can also track changes in your eye over time by comparing each year’s Optomap. In addition, you take a more active role in your eye care by reviewing the images with your doctor and learning more about how best to protect your vision.
