Retinal Imaging gives your optometrist a digital image of the back of your eye which can allow your doctor to make an earlier diagnosis of many eye conditions while allowing to compare changes over time. It is quick, painless and can be performed on any age group. 

Optical Coherence Tomography is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina. This allows your doctor to see each distinctive retinal layer and can catch changes that are not-yet visible to the naked eye. It is safe for all age groups and is encouraged to all of our patients as part of our Digital Comprehensive Eye Exam.
