We are the first opticians in Potters Bar to use the Optomap to examine the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye), forming an integral part of the routine Eye Examination for all patients, from babies to the elderly.
Optomap
Whereas conventional retinal photography takes a picture of approximately just 10% of the retina, the Optomap captures up to 85% of the retina and the anatomical layer below it, the choroid, usually without the need for dilation of the pupils.
Optomap technology provides an added advantage of enabling hyperfluorescent images to be taken as part of the screening process for subtle retinal disease.
