At Innovative Eye Care,we believe exceptional eye care combines experienced clinical expertise, genuine patient care and advanced technology that can provide meaningful additional information about your eye health.

We are proud to introduce Optos California ultra-widefield retinal imaging to our patients at Innovative Eye Care.

What is Optos?

The Optos is an advanced ultra-widefield retinal imaging system designed to capture a200-degree view of the retina in a single capture; this is approximately 82% of the retinal surface. The image can be captured in less than half a second,making the process quick and convenient for many patients.

Why is seeing more of the retina important?

Changes in the retina can sometimes develop without obvious symptoms. You may have no pain or notice no change in your vision, even when retinal changes are present.

With Optos,ultra-widefield imaging allows our optometrists to visualise 50% more retinal area than conventional single-capture imaging devices. This wider field of view gives our optometrists additional information to consider alongside your symptoms, medical history and comprehensive clinical examination.

The Optos will help detect and monitor retinal eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, myopia retinal degeneration, and retinal detachments.

Monitoring Your Eye Health Over Time

Your eye health can change throughout your life.

High-quality retinal images can provide a useful visual record that may be compared with images from previous and future examinations. This can assist our optometrists in documenting and monitoring retinal findings and identifying changes over time.

For patients with eye conditions or risk factors for developing retinal eye diseases, having a consistent record of retinal appearance can be especially valuable as part of their ongoing eye care.

What Can You Expect During an Optos Scan?

Optos retinal imaging is designed to be quick and patient friendly.

The imaging process is non-contact, and the retinal image can be captured in less than half a second. Our clinical team will guide you through the process and ensure you are positioned comfortably.

In many circumstances, ultra-widefield imaging can be performed without dilating the pupils. However, your optometrist will determine whether pupil dilation or additional examination is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Is Optos a Replacement for an Eye Examination?

Ultra-widefield retinal imaging is an adjunct to, not a replacement for, a comprehensive eye examination.

Your optometrist considers the retinal image together with your vision,eye health history, symptoms and the findings from your clinical examination.Additional tests, pupil dilation, referral or further investigation may be recommended when clinically appropriate.

The purpose of the technology is to provide our optometrists with additional information to support the assessment and ongoing management of your eye health.

Our Investment in Advanced Eye Care

At Innovative Eye Care, we are committed to continually improving we provide to our patients.

Introducing Optos to the practice reflects our commitment to combining clinical expertise with advanced technology and personalised care.

By incorporating ultra-widefield retinal imaging into our examinations where clinically appropriate, we can provide a broader view of the retina and create detailed images that may assist with documentation and monitoring overtime.
