Your eyes: Windows to your health
You’ve probably heard the adage, “the eyes are the window to the soul.” Well, Eye Associates of Bucks County has a technology called Optomap that gives that saying a whole new meaning.
Optomap is retinal imaging that provides a 200-degree ultra widefield scan of the retina so that your physician can assess the health of your eye.
Dilation is the industry standard and reveals 100% of the retina. However, your physician may recommend using Optomap in addition to or instead of dilation. With Optomap your physician can show you things they typically see during a dilated exam. They can also compare changes in your retina year over year by saving the Optomap in your digital health record.
Our Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging device captures more than 82% of your retina in one image whereas, traditional methods of retinal imaging typically reveal only 10-15% of your retina.
Optomap scans are done for ocular conditions including but not limited to: age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, retinal holes, tears, or detachments, and melanoma.
The process is extremely quick and can be done as a part of your normal exam intake.
At Eye Associates of Bucks County, we are committed to providing you with eye care for life by using state-of-the-art technology and delivering an excellent patient experience every time you visit. We recommend that our patients include Optomap as part of their annual comprehensive eye exam.
