When it comes to protecting your vision, early detection is key. Advances in eye care technology are making it easier than ever to identify potential issues before they become serious problems. One of the most groundbreaking innovations we offer is the Optomap Plus; a revolutionary eye imaging tool that provides a comprehensive view of your retina in seconds.
Optomap Plus is an ultra-widefield retinal imaging device that captures more than 80% of your retina in a single, quick scan - without the need for dilating drops in most cases. Traditional retinal imaging methods only allow eye doctors to view about 15% of your retina at a time. With Optomap Plus, you get a much broader and clearer picture, making it easier to detect and monitor a wide range of eye conditions.
The ability to capture an ultra-widefield image means your eye doctor can see areas of the retina that are often missed with standard methods. This is crucial for spotting early signs of diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, macular degeneration, and even some types of cancer.
Optomap Plus scans are fast and comfortable. There’s no need for dilation in most cases, which means you can get back to your day right after your appointment - no blurry vision or light sensitivity to worry about.
Early detection is the best defense against vision loss. With its advanced imaging capabilities, Optomap Plus helps your eye doctor identify subtle changes and hidden issues that might go unnoticed with standard exams, allowing for earlier treatment and better outcomes.
Some of the eye conditions that can be detected with Optomap Plus include diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears or detachments, macular degeneration, glaucoma, hypertension-related changes, and even certain types of eye tumors. By spotting these issues early, Optomap Plus supports timely intervention and ongoing eye health.
Optomap Plus images are stored securely, enabling your eye care provider to compare scans from year to year. This makes it easy to monitor changes in your eye health and catch problems early, even before symptoms develop.
The clear, detailed images provided by Optomap Plus help patients better understand their eye health. Your doctor can show you exactly what they’re seeing, making it easier to explain conditions, discuss treatment options, and highlight the importance of regular exams.
