At Adlam & Coomber, we are dedicated to bringing you the latest in eyecare technology to ensure your vision stays healthy and sharp. That’s why we are proud to offer Optomap retinal imaging using the state-of-the-art Optos Daytona device. This innovative technology allows us to provide a more comprehensive eye exam than ever before, helping us detect potential issues early and keep your eyes healthy.
What Is Optomap?
Optomap is a revolutionary imaging technology that captures an ultra-widefield image of your retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. Unlike traditional methods that only allow a limited view of the retina, the Optomap provides a detailed, panoramic view in a single scan. This means we can examine up to 82% of your retina in just a few seconds, compared to only 15% with conventional methods.
How Does Optomap Work?
The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive. During your appointment, you’ll place your eye in front of the Optos Daytona device, and a low-intensity laser will scan your retina. There are no uncomfortable eye drops, no bright lights, and the scan takes less than a minute. The resulting high-resolution image gives our team an incredibly detailed view of your retina, making it easier to identify any potential concerns.
What Are the Benefits of an Optomap?
The Optomap offers several key advantages for your eye health:
-
Early Detection of Eye Conditions: The retina can reveal signs of conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and better outcomes.
-
Insight Into Overall Health: Your eyes are a window to your overall health. Optomap imaging can detect signs of systemic conditions such as diabetes, and hypertension.
-
Fast and Comfortable: Unlike traditional retinal exams that ma require dilation and take time to recover from, the Optomap scan is quick, easy, and doesn’t disrupt your day.
-
Comprehensive Records: The images captured by the Optomap are stored for future reference, enabling us to track changes in your eyes over time and provide more personal care.
