This revolutionary modality captures and analyzes an image of virtually the entire retina, for the early detection and management of eye diseases. Optomap exams are being done worldwide, diagnosing serious eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments and macular degeneration, that could have otherwise gone undetected.
The Optomap retinal exam takes a computer-generated image of the retina, which can be immediately evaluated by Dr. Lelonek and his staff doctors. There is no pupil dilation, no eye drops, blurred vision or sensitivity to light. The Optomap retinal exam is a simple, quick and important way to maintain good eye health.
Instead of the usual larger Optomap scanner, we have added the smaller and more precise Dakota model design to our office. It does everything the older model does, but delivers better, sharper images.
"The Optomap increases the quality of the retinal exam by allowing us to view almost the entire retina at the start of the exam, which can have important implications, not only for detecting eye disease, but also in detecting and managing other medical conditions such as diabetes", said Dr. Lelonek. "We recommend all of our patients have this exam, which has already detected medical and eye problems in some of our patients which could have gone otherwise undetected."
