Our computer
assisted digital retinal camera, and slit lamp imaging enable us to provide
a more thorough record of the health of your eyes.
Digital Imaging can assist us in early detection of ocular problems including
central retinal diseasees, central detachments, holes, thinning, optic nerve
disease (glaucoma), pre-cancerous lesions, macular degeneration, hypertensive
retinopathy, and diabetic retinopathy.
This type of testing also allows us to store these images to compare with the
results of future tests so that a complete ocular health history can be generated.
This will allow us to see minute changes that we may not have been able to
identify without these tests.
We strongly recommend that ALL of our patients receive this test. It is especially
important for those patients who have a personal or family history of high
blood pressure, diabetes, retinal problems, headaches, floaters, flashing light
streaks, a strong prescription for glasses, diminishing vision, macular degeneration,
cataracts and are taking certain medications.
