Optomap Retinal Imaging
Optomap retinal imaging is a non-invasive technology used in optometry to capture a wide-field image of the retina. This imaging technique provides a detailed view of the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels, without the need for dilation in many cases. It allows optometrists to detect and monitor various eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. The Optomap system captures a 200-degree digital image of the retina in a single scan, enabling comprehensive examination and documentation of eye health.
Why do we require retinal imaging for all eye exams?
Early Detection Early Diagnosis: This wide-angle imaging can help detect early signs of conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, which may not show symptoms in the early stages.
Non-Invasive and Comfortable Patient Comfort: The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and does not require dilation of the pupils, making it more comfortable and convenient for patients.
Efficient and Effective Time-Saving: The imaging process is fast, usually taking less than a minute, and the images are immediately available for review.
Documentation and Tracking Record Keeping: Optomap images provide a permanent record of your retinal health, which can be compared year after year to track changes and progress.
Education and Communication Patient Education: The images can be shown to patients to help them understand their eye health and the importance of ongoing eye care.
InfantSee
Dr. Melissa Sanders is an InfantSee provider, seeing patients 6-12 months old for comprehensive eye exams at no cost. Many vision problems may be completely missed until children start school. Babies getting the early diagnosis and treatment they need can help prevent a lifetime of vision complications. We highly recommend bringing your infants in with you so we can give them an exam as well!
Comprehensive Eye Exams
If you’ve had a vision screening recently, you might say, “My vision is fine! I don’t need a comprehensive eye exam.”
But a vision screening provides a limited perspective on the overall health of your eyes. It’s a bit like getting your blood pressure checked and not getting the rest of your annual physical. You’ll have useful information, but it’s not the whole picture.
Contact Lens Exams
If you’ve never worn contact lenses before, it can seem a bit intimidating. After all, you’re inserting something into your eye! Let’s ease your mind about the first step – your contact lens exam. This post will walk you through what’s involved in a contact lens exam and what you can expect every step of the way.
Eye Condition Treatment
People will often experience some type of eye disorder during the course of their lives. While the majority of these are minor and don’t require treatment, even minor problems can have significant adverse impacts on your vision, and you should seek the guidance of a licensed medical professional.
Orthokeratology (CRT & VST)
Many patients come to us every day struggling to get through their daily lives with their current choice of vision correction. Some have eyeglasses that do not sit properly on their face or feel that their peripheral vision is hindered by the frames. While contact users may find the lenses uncomfortable or have them fall out at inconvenient times. For these patients, we are pleased to offer orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, a revolutionary way to help you see clearly throughout the day without having to wear glasses or contacts and without having to get laser eye surgery.
Dry Eyes
While dry eye isn’t a serious condition, it can have a major impact on your quality of life. You may find your eyes get tired faster or you have difficulty reading. Not to mention the discomfort of a burning sensation or blurry vision. Let’s take a look at dry eye treatments – from simple self-care to innovative prescriptions and therapies – to help you see clearly and comfortably.
Dry Eye Relief and Treatment with Lipiflow
Dry eyes are one of the most common conditions that can affect our eyes and is estimated to affect millions of Americans. As you’ve probably guessed, dry eyes occur when tears fail to provide enough natural lubrication for the eyes to be comfortable and healthy.
Emergency Eye Care Services
Eye emergencies cover a range of incidents and conditions such as; trauma, cuts, scratches, foreign objects in the eye, burns, chemical exposure, photic retinopathy, and blunt injuries to the eye or eyelid.
CLARIFYE℠
We're proud to offer CLARIFYE; the digital eye exam that shows you more. A more advanced and precise digital eye exam experience, using state-of-the-art digital technology.
Myopia Management
Myopia is a very common issue throughout the world. Approximately 1/3 of the population in the United States have the condition and over 90% of several East Asian countries suffer from myopia. While myopia may seem like such a common condition that it shouldn’t be cause for concern, it is actually associated with several very serious conditions that can threaten one’s ability to see.
MiSight
MiSight 1-day contact lenses are a type of speciality contact lens. Designed with children in mind, they both correct the refractive error so that children can see clearly when wearing them, and also slow the progression of myopia.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus typically first appears in individuals who are in their late teens or early 20s, and may progress for 10 to 20 years and then slow or stabilize. Each eye may be affected differently.
IPL & RF For Dry Eye
Dry eye is a common and often frustrating condition that can significantly impact your quality of life. If you're struggling with the symptoms of dry eye, such as irritation, redness, and a gritty or burning sensation, you're not alone. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available that can provide relief and improve your eye health.
