What diagnostic technology should a modern optometrist have?
A modern, well-equipped optometry practice uses OCT (optical coherence tomography) for retinal imaging, wide-field retinal photography (like Optomap) for a panoramic view of the retina, and automated visual field testing for peripheral vision. Together, these tools detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and retinal problems at their earliest, most treatable stages — often before you notice anything.
How we do it

What sets our advanced diagnostic technology apart.

The best treatment starts with the best diagnosis. We've invested in modern diagnostic technology that catches eye problems years before symptoms appear — because early detection is the difference between managing a condition and losing vision to it.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

A non-invasive scan that images the layers of your retina in microscopic detail — essential for glaucoma and AMD.

Wide-field retinal imaging

A panoramic photo of your retina that captures far more than a standard exam, documenting your eye health over time.

Visual field testing

Maps your full field of vision to detect blind spots and peripheral loss from glaucoma or neurological conditions.

Digital documentation

We image and store your results so we can compare year over year and catch subtle changes early.

FAQ

Common questions about advanced diagnostic technology

Does OCT imaging replace dilation?+

In many cases, yes — OCT and wide-field retinal imaging can capture detailed views without dilation. We'll recommend dilation only when it adds diagnostic value.

Is retinal imaging covered by insurance?+

Coverage varies. When imaging is medically necessary (monitoring disease), it's typically covered by medical insurance. For routine screening, there may be a small fee — we'll always tell you first.

Why is early detection so important?+

Most serious eye diseases — glaucoma, AMD, diabetic retinopathy — cause no early symptoms. Imaging catches them before vision loss occurs, when treatment is most effective.

How often should I have diagnostic imaging?+

It depends on your age, risk factors, and any existing conditions. For most patients, baseline imaging plus periodic follow-up is ideal. We'll recommend a schedule.
