What is an Optomap Retinal Exam?
An Optomap Retinal Exam is a fast, painless screening of your retina that can detect signs of formative eye conditions and diseases, such as heart disease, signs of a stroke, hypertension, and diabetes. To date, it is the only eye exam technology with the ability to capture 82% of your retina in one image! Your retina, a thin layer of tissue located at the very back of our eye, is comprised of a web of blood vessels that hold signs of illness, disease, and predictions of your future eyesight. The Optomap retinal exam analyzes this area through advanced retinal imaging.
The Benefits of Optomap Retinal Imaging
Optomap is quick and advanced eye exam technology. It also has many other advantages over traditional retinal exams. In addition to its ability to detect developmental eye issues and diseases, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, it is also completely safe and non-intrusive. The following are some of the benefits of choosing an Optomap retinal imaging exam:
1. Optomap is No-Touch! No Problem!
With Optomap technology, the eye exam is completely non-invasive. The exam is simple. Simply look into the retinal imaging device and voila! You will see a brief flash of light through a key-hole-sized opening.
2. Optomap May Allow You to Skip Dilation
With Optomap, you may be able to skip dilation entirely! Most Optomap eye exams are so comprehensive that dilation is unnecessary. Your eye care practitioner will decide if your pupils need to be dilated, depending on your eye health. And because dilation can take up to 30 minutes, Optomap saves you time!
3. Optomap has Detection and Prevention
Because Optomap can detect developmental eye issues, it can help your eye care professional prevent vision degeneration and treat formative eye diseases. Additionally, Optomap can even detect some non-eye-related conditions, such as some systemic diseases.
4. Optomap is Comfortable
The Optomap was actually created in the early 1990s in an effort to create a more accurate and comfortable way to capture an image of the retina. The eye exam is completely painless and comfortable. The best part? Nothing touches your eye at any time during the procedure!
5. Optomap is Safe
Optomap is a safe procedure that is completely sanitary. There is absolutely no risk to your eye health or vision. There’s also zero risk of impacting your schedule because the exam itself only takes a few minutes!
6. Optomap Saves Your Information
With Optomap, an image of your retina is saved and can be shared directly to your phone, so you can review your information at any time
Number One Eye Exam for Kids
Optomap technology takes the fuss and mess out of an eye exam. Many children are uncomfortable with the length of a traditional eye exam as well as the invasive dilation procedure. Patients of all ages can undergo retinal imaging. In fact, the sooner the better! Optomap makes it easy to store your eye exam information, so your optometrist can track your eye development and make a note of any changes over time.
