What is Optomap?
Optomap Technology allows the Dr. to evaluate up to 50% more retinal surface area than with dilation alone, providing earlier detection of eye disorders, some of which can result in ultimate vision loss.
How does Optomap work?
Taking 1/4 of a second, the Optomap takes a high quality, digital photo of the retina. The whole process takes only minutes to complete.
Why is having an Optomap important?
The Optomap provides the Dr. with a permanent record of your retinal condition, which when compared from year to year, allows him to track even subtle changes and monitor your eye health.
Who should have an Optomap taken?
Optomap is safe for all patients at any age. It is so fast it can be performed on infants, and in fact was invented specifically for that purpose. A complete picture of the inside of the eye can be done even on animals because of the amazing speed of the Optomap.
When should you have an Optomap taken?
Each year during your eye health exam.
