The digital retinal photograph produces an image that is as unique as your fingerprint and provides us with a wide view to look at the health of your retina. The retina is the part of your eye that captures the image of what you are looking at, similar to film in a camera.
Many eye problems can develop without you being aware of them. You may not even notice any change in your sight, but diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.
Digital Retinal Photography provides:
A scan to show a healthy eye or detect disease.
A view of the retina, giving your doctor a more detailed view than he/she can get by other means.
The opportunity for you to view and discuss the retinal image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
A permanent record for your file, which allows us to view your images each year to look for changes.
Digital retinal photography is fast, easy, and comfortable for all ages. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time and you will see a comfortable flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken. The retinal image is shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.
