Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various fields, and optometry is no exception. With advancements in machine learning, image processing, and deep learning, AI is enabling optometrists to diagnose and treat various eye conditions more accurately and efficiently.

Optomap scanning is an advanced technology used by eye care professionals to capture a panoramic image of the retina. It is a non-invasive procedure that can help detect eye diseases and conditions at an early stage, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. In this blog, we will discuss what Optomap scanning is, how it works, and its benefits.

Probably the most common question I have in clinic is about floaters in the vision. But what exactly are they? I thought I’d write about this in the blog this month as last week I had a sudden new very large floater and it needed assessment.
More about that later…

At Arthur Hayes, we have always invested in the very latest technology to help us identify sight-threatening conditions as early as possible. 20 years ago, we invested in a retinal camera producing a static photograph of the retina in great detail. In 2011 as optical technology continued to evolve we got our first OCT 3D retinal scanner and in 2022 we have now introduced the addition of Optomap.
