Optomap Retinal Screening

Regular annual eye exams are essential for preserving your vision and holistic well-being. At Frame & Focus Eye Care, we prioritize comprehensive eye care, including the optomap® Retinal Exam. This advanced procedure generates a distinctive image, akin to your fingerprint, offering an extensive view for assessing retinal health. Your retina plays a crucial role in capturing visual images, much like the film in a camera.

What Is Optomap?

The optomap® Retinal Exam is a state-of-the-art widefield retinal imaging system designed to provide you and your doctor with archivable detailed images of your retinal structures. Many eye conditions can often develop without noticeable symptoms. However, through a comprehensive examination of the retina, issues like macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and systemic health concerns such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be identified.

What are the Benefits of Optomap?

The optomap® Retinal Exam offers:

• A thorough scan to reveal a healthy eye or detect underlying diseases.
• A detailed view of the retina, surpassing traditional examination methods.
• An opportunity for you to engage with your doctor and discuss the optomap® image during your visit.
• Long-term documentation for ongoing monitoring, facilitating comparison and early detection of any changes.

What Can I Expect When I Get an Optomap? Is It A Safe Procedure?

The optomap® Retinal Exam is quick, painless, and safe for all age groups including pregnant women. During the procedure, you simply gaze into the device one eye at a time, experiencing a gentle flash of light indicating the capture of your retinal image.
