- GlaucomaThe Optomap is one of the most advanced pieces of technology that Sight to See has to offer. What the Optomap does is capture a panoramic view of your retina, which is the lining at the back of your eye. It receives light through the lens and produces a picture, which is sent to the brain, enabling you to see. An unhealthy retina can result in impaired vision or blindness. The retina is also the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen directly. This means that in addition to eye conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, signs of other diseases like stroke, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes can be seen in the retina.
