Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. We offer digital retinal photos as an important part of our eye exams. The retina is the part of your eye that captures the image of what you are looking at, similar to film in a camera.
Many eye problems can develop without you knowing. You may not even notice any change in your sight. But, diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.
An digital retinal photo provides:
- A photo show a healthy eye or detect disease.
- The opportunity for you to view and discuss the image of your retina with Doctor Dittman at the time of your exam.
- A permanent record for your file, which allows us to view your images each year to look for changes.
The digital retinal photo is fast, easy, and comfortable for all ages. The photo is shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review it with you.
