Optomap Retinal
Exam
We are pleased to inform you that during your next visit to Davis
Eye Care, you will experience the benefits of the latest technology
in eye exams – the Optomap™ Retinal Exam. The Optomap
will produce the most comprehensive image of your retina, and allow
us to perform a more thorough exam than was previously possible.
The result is that we can better prevent or reduce vision loss in
our patients with a simple, quick and patient-friendly new exam.
Any routine eye exam should always include a careful look at the
retina, which is located at the back of the eye, to screen for abnormalities
or disease. The sensitive tissue that makes up the retina is susceptible
to a variety of diseases that can ultimately lead to partial loss
of vision or even complete blindness. Early detection of any retinal
abnormality is thus crucial. Previously, this screening was done
by dilating the pupils, a procedure that many patients found uncomfortable,
inconvenient and time-consuming.
The Optomap is made possible by using a new technology –
the Panoramic200™ Retinal Imaging System. The Optomap enables
us to see nearly all of your retina. Furthermore, it eliminates
the discomfort and inconvenience associated with pupil dilation.
As a result, you will not experience blurred vision or sensitivity
to light following your eye exam. It is important to note however,
that should any abnormalities be detected or if we cannot obtain
an acceptable image, dilation may be necessary. |
 The Optomap
exam is simple: at the push of a button, we can generate a computer
image of your retina for immediate review. Experience with this
technology has already led to improved disease detection and has
possibly prevented vision loss and blindness in several patients.
We will be discussing this revolutionary exam with you further
at your next appointment. Here at Davis Eye Care, we are dedicated
to offering our patients the best eye care possible, and acquiring
the tools to help us do so. We look forward to seeing you during
your next visit – and providing the most comprehensive and
advanced vision care available.
