Comprehensive Eye Health with Optomap Retinal Imaging
Why Choose Optomap?
The Optomap® Exam provides a comprehensive, panoramic view of your retina, allowing optometrists to examine your eye’s health precisely. These images enable the detection of critical conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachments—conditions that can silently threaten vision without any prior warning signs.
Comprehensive View: Displays over 80% of the retina in a single capture, compared to 15% with standard eye exams.
Suitable for All Ages: Ideal for everyone, from children to seniors.
Quick and Painless: A swift, non-invasive procedure.
No Physical Contact: Nothing touches your eye during the process.
No Need for Dilation: Minimizes discomfort and the typical light sensitivity caused by pupil dilation.
Interactive Experience: Patients can view their retina in a 3D animation.
More Than 20/20: Why Children Need Comprehensive Eye Exams
Every parent wants the best for their child, and good vision is crucial for their physical and cognitive development. While most children are born with healthy eyes, some may have underlying conditions that are not immediately visible. Diseases like diabetes can also manifest in the retina, making early detection essential.
Regular eye examinations ensure your child’s visual and overall health. We can initiate treatment to preserve sight and enhance well-being by catching issues early. Offering your child an Optomap Retinal Image can provide a more detailed assessment of their retinal health, capturing over 80% of the retina in a single image, compared to traditional methods that typically show just a fraction.
Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a prevalent and potentially blinding complication of diabetes. It occurs when elevated blood sugar damages the delicate retinal cells, causing blood vessels to become obstructed, leak, or grow abnormally. This interferes with light transmission to the retina, leading to vision impairment.
In the initial stages, diabetic retinopathy is often asymptomatic, making early detection crucial. Without timely intervention, the condition can progress to blindness. An Optomap scan captures over 80% of the retina in one image, significantly enhancing the ability to identify early signs of retinal disease, compared to just 15% with traditional methods.
Protect Your Vision and Health with Optomap
We recommend Optomap for every patient as we believe that a detailed assessment of the retina is extremely important for ensuring the best eye care. Optomap is only now becoming available in some select eye hospital departments, so this is an excellent addition for any possible onward referral, as images can also be shared with relevant consultants.
Optomap is included as standard with all routine eye examinations.
