Optomap® Retinal Examination
The Optomap® Retinal Exam is used to get an ultra-widefield view of the retina (the back of the eye). While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. This can lead to early detection of common diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, and even cancer. The exam is quick, painless, and may not require dilation drops. Dr. Rhodes will educate you about the structures of your retina and interactively review and discuss the results of your exam. The optomap® photography provides a permanent record of the condition of your retina, which will allow Dr. Rhodes to compare each year’s image side by side to discover even subtle changes and monitor your continuing eye health.
