Optomap – Retinal Imaging for Eye Exams
Optomap Versus Eye Dilation Exams
Detecting early signs of eye diseases with Optomap Retinal Imaging is more effective than eye dilation. Available at all Eye Wares locations.
What is Optomap Retinal Imaging?
Optomap Retinal Imaging is a modern way to conduct an eye exam. Compared to traditional eye exams, this is quick, simple, and much easier on the patient, as it does not require eye dilation. This method of testing is an effective way to assess our clients’ vision and ocular health without compromising their comfort.
This is ideal for patients from all age groups, as it is contact-free and produces fast results. All that our clients need to do is sit down in front of the machine and wait until it has finished producing a real-time image of your retinas. These only take a few minutes, at most, to develop, and they are detailed enough to show even the smallest details of your retinas. It also provides a 3D model of your retinas that your eye doctor can analyze to identify underlying issues. In fact, Optomap Retinal Imaging is uniquely suited to the early detection of underlying diseases.
Early Detection of Underlying Diseases
Most patients don’t expect their eye exams to reveal a medical condition, but many health issues are characterized by unusual attributes inside or on the eyes. The retinal images produced by Optomap Retinal Imaging are detailed enough for optometrists to spot symptoms of eye conditions or general health conditions, even in their earliest stages.
With Optomap, you can identify and resolve medical concerns ahead of time. The news may be overwhelming but diagnosing issues in their early stages allows your doctor to administer or prescribe the necessary treatments as soon as possible. This prevents the condition from worsening over time and gives patients a higher chance of recovery.
Benefits of an Optomap During an Eye Exam
The benefits of having an optomap retinal image during your routine eye exam:
- In most instances, it replaces dilation
- Optomap facilitates early protection from vision impairment or blindness
- Early detection of life-threatening diseases like cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease
- Optomap provides an ultra-widefield view to detect early signs of retinal disease
The unique optomap ultra-widefield view helps your optometrist detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams utilizing dilation.
