The Optomap Retinal Exam is a new form of eye scan which captures a 200 degree view of the retina. It is performed easily, and is encouraged for patients starting at age 3.

This new scan can provide the optometrist with the following information:
- 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 Optomap® image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.

-A permanent record for your file, which allows the doctors at the Vision Care Clinic to view your images each year to look for changes. (http://scvisioncare.com/_mgxroot/page_10769.html)

Good eyesight doesn’t necessarily mean healthy eyes. Furthermore, systemic conditions, like diabetes, high blood pressure and MS can have an effect on the eyes. Having a yearly appointment with your optometrist can catch problems before they get out of control.
