Optomap is an innovative new technology that gives eye doctors the ability to perform ultra-wide retinal imaging that is far superior to what can currently be achieved using conventional retinal imaging options. In contrast to conventional retinal imaging, Optomap captures at least 50% more of the retina in a single capture, and with Optomap’s multi-capture function, up to 97% of the retina can be viewed. This gives eye care professionals greater opportunity to monitor the health and condition of patient vision.

Why Is Optomap Important?

Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. Sullivan Family Eye offers the optomap® as an important part of our eye exams. The Optomap produces an image that is unique and provides Dr. Jones with a high-resolution 200° image in order to ascertain the health of your retina. This is much wider than a traditional 45° image. Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight – fortunately, diseases or damage 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.

The inclusion of optomap as part of a comprehensive eye exam provides:

A scan to show a healthy eye or detect disease.
A view of the retina, giving your doctor a more comprehensive view than they can get by other means.
The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with your doctor at thetime of your exam.
A permanent record for your file, which allows Dr. Jones to view your images each year to look for changes.

What to Expect from Optomap

Optomap is a fast, painless and non-invasive procedure that is suitable for patients of all ages, even children and pregnant women. You’ll be sat down and asked to look into a small device that will take pictures of your retina. A short flash of light will let you know that the image has been taken, and the entire imaging is over in just a few seconds. Optomap is fast, easy, and comfortable for anyone. The entire image process consists of you looking into the device one eye at a time. The Optomap images are shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.
