Retinal imaging has become one of the most valuable tools in modern eye care, giving optometrists a detailed view of the retina and helping detect potential problems before they affect your vision. At Eyes of Starwood, we’re proud to offer advanced technology, including the Optos Optomap® retinal exam, to provide the most comprehensive eye care possible.
 

What Is Retinal Imaging?

Retinal imaging is a painless, non-invasive test that captures high-resolution images of the back of your eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. These images help identify and monitor eye conditions that often develop without early warning signs.
 

One of the most effective methods of retinal imaging is the Optos Optomap® exam. Unlike traditional methods that only capture small portions of the retina at a time, Optomap® produces an ultra-widefield image of more than 80% of your retina in a single scan. This allows your doctor to see areas of the retina that are often difficult to examine with standard tools.
 

Early Detection of Eye Diseases

Serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can begin silently. Optomap® retinal imaging helps detect these issues early, when treatment is most effective at preserving your vision.
 

A Wider, More Detailed View

The Optomap® captures a panoramic view of the retina, allowing your doctor to spot concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed with traditional exams. This gives you a higher level of confidence that nothing is being missed.
 

Tracking Changes Over Time

Because your retinal images are stored and compared over time, your optometrist can monitor subtle changes in your eye health. This long-term record ensures proactive care and timely intervention when necessary.
 

Detecting Systemic Health Issues

Retinal imaging can reveal more than just eye conditions. Changes in the retina’s blood vessels may signal systemic health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. With Optomap® technology, these changes are easier to identify.
 

A Comfortable, Patient-Friendly Experience

Optomap® exams are fast, safe, and comfortable. In many cases, the exam can be performed without the need for dilation, making it easier for patients to get a thorough exam without the light sensitivity or blurred vision that dilation causes.
