During an annual eye exam, your doctor utilizes the Optomap ultra-widefield retinal exam to monitor for complications including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal holes or detachments. These problems can develop without warning and sometimes with no signs or symptoms.
This state-of-the-art technology allows your doctor to see small details that can assist with detecting systemic problems unrelated to the eye such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer/tumors, auto-immune disorders, and others.
The Optomap Retinal Exam:
- Is as fast as taking a picture.
- DOES NOT REQUIRE DILATING DROPS. You may not need to be dilated today, potentially eliminating a 30-minute wait and avoiding side effects such as blurry vision and light sensitivity.
- Saved in your file enabling our doctors to make important comparisons during your annual eye exam.
This is a REQUIRED part of our routine eye exam, and there is a $39.00 fee for the Optomap Retinal Exam.
