Another exciting advance in the field of optometry is that of high definition, digital retinal imaging. Much like the OCT, digital retinal imagining provides the doctors with a greatly enhanced ability to diagnose and monitor retinal diseases. The retinal camera provides the doctors with exceptionally sharp images that can be manipulated and analyzed with specialized software. If you already have a retinal disorder, the retinal camera allows our doctors to very precisely monitor your condition. You are able to look at the pictures with the doctor during the exam and the images can be saved as part of your permanent medical record for future reference. Our new retinal camera also allows are doctors to detect early warning signs of systemic diseases including hypertension, stroke and diabetes. It is an excellent screening tool for nearly all eye health conditions and our doctors recommend that all patients receive baseline retinal screening photos.
