We are always striving to provide you with the highest standard of eye care, which is why we’ve integrated advanced technologies like the OptoMap and OCT into your eye exams. These state-of-the-art tools allow us to take a deeper look into your eye health and ensure that your vision stays crystal clear for years to come.
What is OptoMap?
The OptoMap provides a wide-angle, high-definition image of the retina, capturing up to 80% of its surface in one panoramic view. This non-invasive, quick, and comfortable process helps us detect issues such as:
• Retinal detachments
• Macular degeneration
• Glaucoma
• Early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure
With OptoMap, we can often detect conditions long before they affect your vision, giving us the opportunity to start treatment early.
What is OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)?
The OCT is like an MRI for your eyes, providing us with highly detailed, cross-sectional images of your retina. This technology allows us to look beneath the surface, helping us detect and monitor conditions like:
• Glaucoma: By measuring optic nerve damage
• Diabetic Retinopathy: Through detailed views of blood vessel health
• Macular Degeneration: By monitoring retinal layers for early changes
OCT is fast, painless, and highly precise, ensuring that no detail of your eye health is overlooked.
Why Are These Tools Important for You?
Both OptoMap and OCT allow us to take a proactive approach to your eye health, helping us identify and address problems at their earliest stages—often before symptoms appear. This means better outcomes and peace of mind for you.
We are committed to providing you with the best care possible. By incorporating these advanced tools into your routine eye exams, we can better protect your vision and help you maintain healthy eyes for life.
OptoMap is available at our practices in Polesworth, Solihull, Church Stretton and Barnards Green. OCT is available in our practices at Solihull and Church Stretton.
