Digital Retinal Photography
Digital retinal photography allows our eye
doctors to evaluate the health of the retina and
internal structures of the eye. This fast,
non-invasive testing is utilized to assist in early
detection of diseases such as Glaucoma,
Diabetes, and Macular Degeneration. The
imaging is critical to confirm the health of the
retina, macula, optic nerve, and other retinal
structures.
Many eye diseases, if detected at an early stage,
can be treated successfully without total loss of
vision. After capturing the digital retinal images,
we store them electronically to provide our
optometrists with a record of the condition of
the retina and associated structures. This will
​​​​​​​allow our eye doctor to detect and measure even
​​​​​​​minor changes to the retina and associated structures each year. Many eye conditions, such as Glaucoma, are diagnosed by detecting changes over time. Retinal photography is critical in managing these patients.
