Retinal Scan (OPTOS)
Purpose: To assess the full eye health, mainly the retinal tissue. Good vision does not always equate to a healthy eye.
Benefits of a Retinal Scan
- Optos facilitates early protection from vision impairment or blindness
- Early detection of life-threatening diseases like cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease
- The unique optos ultra-widefield view helps your eye doctor detect and manage early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams.
- Screen for diabetes, high blood pressure, retinal degeneration, glaucoma, and many more…
- Early detection means successful treatments can be administered and therefore reduces the risk to your sight and health.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is an Optos scan?
The optos is a digital image of the retina produced by scanning laser technology. It is the only technology that can capture 89% view of your retina at one time.
How will Optos benefit me?
The ultra-widefield optos may help your eye doctor detect problems more quickly and easily.
Is Optos safe for children?
Yes. In fact, many vision problems begin in early childhood, so it’s important for children to receive quality routine eye care.
How often should I have an retinal exam (Optos)?
It is generally recommended that you have an Optos imaged each time you have an eye exam.
Visual Field
Visual field testing gives the eye doctor essential information about the diagnosis and progress of major blindness-causing diseases. Field testing is a primary tool in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma. Many other ocular and neurological diseases also produce characteristic patterns of field defects. Comprehensive visual field testing allows early detection and close monitoring of the progress of these diseases, enhancing the chances for successful treatments.
