An optomap retinal scan provides:
An ultra-widefield 200° image of the surface of the retina taken in seconds
Dilation drops are not necessary, but our doctors will decide if your pupils need to be dilated for further testing, particularly to view the periphery
Dilation shows 15% of your retina at one time vs. optomap’s ability to capture 82% of your retina in one capture
Early detection, diagnosis and improved treatment guidance for many eye conditions and diseases, such as glaucoma, aged-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears or detachments, as well as early signs of life-threatening systemic diseases such as cancer, stroke, aneurysm and cardiovascular disease
The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam
A permanent record for your file, which allows our doctor to look for subtle changes in your retina every year
