Optos widefield retinal imaging allows us to capture a detailed digital image of the retina in seconds, helping us evaluate the health of the back of the eye with greater clarity and detail. This advanced technology provides a wider view of the retina than traditional methods and can assist in detecting signs of eye disease early, often before symptoms develop.
Retinal imaging can help identify conditions such as retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye health concerns. The images also allow us to monitor changes in your eyes over time and compare results from year to year as part of your ongoing care.
For many patients, Optos imaging can reduce or eliminate the need for dilation during routine exams, though dilation may still be recommended in certain situations. The process is quick, comfortable, and provides valuable insight into your overall eye health.
