Eye Exam
January 31, 2007
The eye doctor I use has a web page at http://www.c-l-c.com/clc_services_opto_map.html describing the exam they do. They link to http://www.optos.com/ which has more detail.
It removes a lot of the drawbacks of traditional exams, especially since it is easy to store and compare images.
According to the FAQs, it takes care of most of the eye exam needed by the diabetic. The Optomap Retinal Exam will tell you if you have diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, retinal holes, tears and detachments, macular degeneration, malignant melanomas and many other retinal disorders.
