Digital retinal photography consists of a digital camera system that takes a photograph of your retina. Here is a summary of the benefits of Digital Retinal Photography:
- A scan to confirm a healthy eye or detect the presence of disease.
- An overview or map of the retina, giving our Optometrists a more detailed view of your eye nerve.
- The opportunity for you to view and discuss the images of your eye with our Optometrists at the time of your examination.
- By looking at digital photos from previous years.
Our Optometrists can look for changes over time, and determine any progression of your eye health. This forms part our management during your eye exam. We recommend that all our patients receive this test. It is especially important for patients with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, retinal diseases, flashes of light, headaches and those with a strong spectacles prescription.
