Retinal Photograph
Retinal screening can check for:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetes
- Cataracts
- Age Related Macular Degeneration
- And others
We are committed to providing our patients with the highest standard of eye care available. Our job is not only to ensure that your vision is at its best, but also to check the health of your eye - and consequently your overall wellbeing.
We have recently installed a state-of-the-art Topcon Digital Retinal Camera in our test room. This will allow us to take photographs of the back of your eye (the retina), and enable us to carry out a far more detailed examination than was previously possible.
The image we take is similar to the one shown here, and our experienced optometrists can use this photo to diagnose the health and condition of your eyes.
This retinal examination is comfortable and the image is captured in just seconds using flash photography - nothing touches your eyes.
We will then have a permanent and accurate record of the condition of your eyes stored on our computer, allowing us to compare images and look for any changes, year on year - which could prove to be invaluable in monitoring your eye health.
We're sure that you can see the benefits of this important new service - a service that is available to everyone. We make a small additional charge for this worthwhile examination which is not available under the NHS.
