RETINAL SCANNING NOW AVAILABLE
A groundbreaking addition to the eye examination that can help in ensuring your overall wellbeing as well as protecting your eye health is now available at our Eastbourne branch. The optomap® Retinal Exam can image approximately 82% of the back of the eye in one capture compared to less than 5% that can be seen by conventional eye examination techniques.
The optomap® Retinal Exam has assisted in the diagnosis of serious eye conditions (eg diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears/detachments and macular degeneration) that often first exhibit in the periphery of the retina and progress without symptoms. Signs of other medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers can also be detected in the retina.
With optomap® Retinal Exam the majority of the retina is visible in one single image, compared to the small amount seen with conventional examination
