Optomap Retinal Scan
What is Optomap retinal imaging?
The Optomap retinal exam is an advanced imaging technique that allows us to get a wide view of your retina, the back of your eye. This non-invasive procedure captures more than 80% of your retina in one image, compared to traditional methods that only show 15% of the retina at a time. This comprehensive view allows us to detect early signs of many eye conditions and diseases.
Why is an Optomap exam important?
The Optomap retinal exam is a crucial tool in maintaining eye health. It allows us to detect early signs of diseases that can affect not just your vision, but your overall health. Conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected through an Optomap retinal exam.
What to expect during an optomap scan
The Optomap retinal exam is a quick and painless procedure. You simply look into the device one eye at a time, and you’ll see a comfortable flash of light, which means the image of your retina has been taken. The capture takes less than a second, and images are available immediately for review with your optometrist.
Benefits of Optomaps
The Optomap retinal exam provides several benefits:
Early detection of diseases: The Optomap allows us to see most of your retina at once, which can help detect early signs of many diseases.

Permanent records: The Optomap images are stored and can be compared with future images to track changes in your eye health over time.
