The health of your eyes is the most important component of your eye exam at Vision Care Specialists. We are proud to offer Digital Retinal Screening in which a high-resolution digital photograph is taken of the back interior portion of your eye called the retina. In most cases, the color photograph can be taken without dilating your pupils. The image produced shows the optic nerve, blood vessels, nerve fibre layer and the macula which is the most sensitive part of the retina and is responsible for the most clear and detailed vision you have. The screening can show abnormalities that may threaten normal vision. It also provides invaluable baseline information to assist your doctor in determining if any changes in the health of your eye have ocurred from one exam to the next.
The digital photographs become part of your
permanent record so that your doctor can closely monitor even the
slightest progression of any abnormalities. You will be given the
opportunity to see the images and get a thorough explanation of the
photographs at the time of your screening. You may even request a
full color print at the time of your visit.
