The Optomap Retinal Exam

The Optomap® Retinal Exam is unique in that it gives us a much larger view (200 degrees) of the back of the eye - your retina - than conventional eye exam equipment. The images can be taken without dilating your pupils - a very common procedure which is uncomfortable and inconvenient for many people.

The Optomap image is displayed immediately after being taken, allowing the eye care professional to review it quickly and if necessary, refer you to a retinal specialist. Using the Internet, the image can be sent anywhere in the world for a specialist to review.

Each Optomap image is as individual as fingerprints or DNA and can provide us with a unique view of your eye health very quickly and comfortably. The Optomap image is captured in less than one minute and is immediately available for you and the doctor to re view.

The Optomap Retinal Exam offers many advantages including:

· Provides an ultra-widefield view of the retina

· Comfortable and quick image capture

·Non-invasive

·Helps you understand your eye health

·Provides permanent records for future comparison

·The Optomap technology does not require pupil dilation, however the decision to dilate or not is a medical decision to be made by the doctors at The Kurtin Eye Care Center.

·Patient can resume normal activities immediately
