What is Retinal Imaging?
Retinal imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to capture detailed images of the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. This imaging technology enables us to examine the retina for signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
The Retinal Imaging Experience.
QUICK | PAINLESS | SAFE
The Optos Optomap Retinal Imaging System is a quick and painless procedure that captures a 200-degree image of your retina in just seconds. Traditional retinal imaging equipment can capture only 45° (or 15%) of the retina at a time.
During the retinal imaging procedure, you will be asked to look into the Optomap machine, which resembles a large camera. You will see a series of flashing lights as the machine captures multiple images of your retina.
The entire process takes less than a minute and is completely painless.
