Optomap Retinal Exam Technology
Previously, dilation was the primary method for examining the eye in detail. However, the Optomap retinal exam now provides a significant advancement. This technology captures approximately 80 percent of the retina in a panoramic image with a single, quick flash—without the need for dilation. This comprehensive view allows us to detect early signs of macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and other retinal conditions, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment to potentially prevent vision loss. Additionally, the Optomap image can reveal broader health concerns, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and increased risk for heart attack or stroke. Our doctors will still dilate patients who need it for other clinical reasons, but recommend Optomap Images on all patients.
