The Optomap Retinal Eye Exam

In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Optometric Expressions is proud to announce the inclusion of the optomap® retinal exam as an integral part of your eye exam.

Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. Optometric Expressions offers the optomap® Retinal Exam as an important part of our eye exams. The optomap® Retinal Exam produces an image that is as unique as your fingerprint and provides Doctor Swanson 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 knowing. You may not even notice any change in your sight. But, diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.

An Optomap exam provides;

• An eye wellness exam.
• An in depth view of the retinal layers (where disease can start).
• The ability for you to view your Optomap retinal image with your doctor during your exam.
• An annual, permanent record for your medical file, which gives your Doctor comparisons for tracking and diagnosing potential eye disease.

The Optomap exam is fast, easy and comfortable!

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 optomap® image is shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.
