We now offer high-resolution retinal imaging in addition to the traditional retinal evaluation. This is a non-invasive procedure that takes a digital picture of the back of your eye and allows the doctor to see a much broader and detailed view of the overall health of the eye. It can detect the presence of retinal lesions that can be present at any age without any symptoms, such as retinal holes and tears, in addition to other eye diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetes, hypertension and even cancer.
It may help the doctor detect problems more quickly, and does not have any of the visual side effects of the traditional dilation drops such as blurry vision and light sensitivity. It is a valuable tool and is recommended by our doctors as part of your yearly exam.
