Optomap

Time to blog about my yearly eye exam again.  It amazes me that there are not more Optomap Retinal scanning devices out there and being used.  My eye doctor -- Kay Willis at Contact Lens Center in Dallas swears by it.  Pearl Vision Center has also been advertising it, but they only have too.

Cool gadget, you sit down on a stool with a remote control, the tech lines you up, and it takes a picture of your retina.  Even better, the doctor saves a copy of it.  My doctor now has several pictures over several years to compare.

No dilation, no pain, and better yet there is a record of what is going on with your eyes.

And so far ... no problems!
