FAQs
What is an Optomap retinal map?
An Optomap retinal map is a digital image of your retina, capturing a wide view of the back of your eye. It’s a fast, non-invasive way to detect eye diseases and monitor your eye health over time.
Is the Optomap scan painful or uncomfortable?
No, the scan is completely painless and quick. It requires you to simply look into the device for a few seconds while it takes a detailed picture of your retina.
Do I still need my pupils dilated for this test?
Often, dilation is not necessary because Optomap provides a wide and detailed view without it. However, in certain cases, dilation may be recommended for a more thorough examination.
How often should I get an Optomap retinal scan?
We generally recommend an Optomap scan at every annual eye exam to track changes in your retina and catch any early signs of eye problems.
Can Optomap detect all eye diseases?
While Optomap is excellent for detecting many retinal conditions early, it is part of a full eye exam and doesn’t replace other tests your optometrist may perform.
