OPTOS Optomap

Our eye doctors of Allied Vision Plainsboro, in Plainsboro, NJ, are proud to introduce the latest cutting-edge technology in retinal imaging, the OPTOS Optomap. This amazing device allows your eye doctor to see retinal, optic nerve, and corneal structures not visible during regular exam methods by using light to provide a high-resolution scan that picks up early signs of structural change or disease. This allows your eye doctor to see even the smallest changes in the retina and optic nerve with greater accuracy and much higher definition, making early and accurate detection of common sight-threatening eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy easier than ever before.

While traditional imaging technologies usually scan about 15% of your retina at a time, the OPTOS Optomap scans a stunning 200-degree arc, capturing about 80% of your retina in a single panoramic scan. This provides a wider, more accurate view of the retina than less advanced scans do. This scan will give you and your eye doctor with a highly detailed picture of your eye, serving as a valuable roadmap of your overall eye health.

The high-resolution images produced by the Optomap provide a personal benchmark for each person's ocular health and help detect sudden changes through the years. Since the images show up automatically on a computer monitor, you can see for yourself everything the eye doctor is telling you about your eye health, allowing you to take an active role in preserving your valuable sense of sight.

The patient experience is also fast, easy, and painless, with a noticeable focus on maximizing patient convenience and eliminating patient discomfort. Nothing touches your eye at any time, and it is suitable for the whole family, from youngest to oldest. The exam consists of taking a brief look into the device one eye at a time. You will see a comfortable flash of light, which indicates that the image of your retina has been captured, and you're done!

Our eye doctors recommend an Optomap scan to every patient, “The quality of the Optomap scan and the amount of information we can get from this scan is of great value. Often, we find that a patient thinks his or her vision is very good, but when we administer the optomap scan, we find that, at the cellular level, there are important changes that signify possible issues that may otherwise have gone unnoticed. Early detection and effective prevention are the most important parts of beating any disease, and this is where the Optomap shines!”
