- Macular DegenerationMany eye problems can develop without you noticing any change in your vision at all. That’s why our office highly recommends that all patients receive an Optomap Retinal Exam as part of their yearly eye exam. The retina is the part of your eye that captures the image you are looking at, similar to the film in a camera. The Optomap Retinal Exam produces a wide view image the doctor can use to confirm your retinal health or discover signs of abnormalities or disease, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal tears or detachments. Other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can also be detected with a thorough exam of the retina.

- Eye ExamThe American Optometric Association says that as much as 80% of what a child learns comes through sight. To perform well in school, kids need to be able to watch what the teacher is doing as they explain their lessons. Children who can’t see well can often become frustrated and fall behind in academics, sports, and social development. But despite the importance of good vision to a child’s growth, nearly half of all kids have never had a comprehensive eye exam!
