Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining vision and overall health. The optomap is an important part of eye exams.
The optomap produces an image that is unique and provides a high-resolution 2000 image in order to ascertain the health of your retina. This is much wider than a traditional 450 image.
Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight – fortunately, diseases or damage such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.
The inclusion of optomap as part of a comprehensive eye exam provides:
– a scan to show a healthy eye or detect disease;
-a view of the retina, giving your doctor a more comprehensive view than they can get by other means;
– the opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam; and
– a permanent record for your file, which allows your optometrist to view your images each year to look for changes.
