Optomap is an advanced type of retinal imaging technology that captures a wide-field (ultra-widefield) image of the back of the eye — including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels — in a single shot, without the need for pupil dilation in most cases. It is good for early, wide, and convenient detection and monitoring of retinal and systemic health issues, helping eye doctors protect vision and catch disease early.
Early detection of eye diseases: Helps identify signs of retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other retinal disorders—often before symptoms appear.
Comprehensive retinal view: Captures up to 200° of the retina (about 80%)
Noninvasive and quick: The scan takes only seconds and is comfortable for patients
Documentation and monitoring: Produces a permanent digital image that allows tracking changes in the retina over time.
Useful for all ages: Helpful in both routine eye exams and specialized retinal evaluations, even for children or patients who can’t sit for long.
