optomap

Annual eye exams are vital to maintain your vision and overall health. Dr. Girardi offers the optomap as an important part of our eye exams.  The optomap produces an image that is unique and provides Dr. Girardi with a high resolution 200' image in order to ascertain the health of your retina.  This is much wider than the traditional 45' image.  Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight - fortunately, diseases or damage 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.

optomap as part of your eye exam provides:

  1. An image to show a healthy eye or detect disease.
  2. A view of the retina, giving your doctor a more comprehensive view than by other means available.
  3. The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap image of your eye with the doctor at the time of your exam.
  4. A permanent record for your file, which allows Dr. Girardi to view your images each year to look for changes.

The optomap is fast, easy, and comfortable for anyone!

The entire image process consists of you looking into the device one eye at a time.  The optomap images are shown immediately on a computer screen so we can review them with you.
