What is Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging?
Optos Ultra-Widefield (UWF™) Retinal Imaging captures up to 200 degrees of the retina in a single image, providing a comprehensive view of your eye’s interior. This non-invasive technique allows for the early detection and monitoring of numerous eye diseases and systemic health issues, all without the lengthy wait for your eyes to dilate.
The Benefits of UWF Retinal Imaging
Time-Saving Convenience
No Pupil Dilation Needed: Traditional retinal exams often require dilating your pupils, which can take up to 30 minutes or more. With Optos, there’s no need for dilation, so you can be in and out quickly.
Quick and Comprehensive: The imaging process is fast and captures high-resolution images instantly, providing your doctor with detailed information in a fraction of the time.
Early Detection of Ocular Conditions
Retinal Detachment: Detects issues early to prevent vision loss.
Glaucoma: Identifies signs of glaucoma through detailed optic nerve imaging.
Cataracts: Assesses retinal health affected by cataracts.
Retinal Holes/Tears: Finds retinal issues early to prevent further complications.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Examines the macula for early diagnosis and management.
Detection of Systemic Diseases
Diabetes: Reveals diabetic retinopathy, a diabetes complication.
Hypertension: Detects hypertensive retinopathy, indicating high blood pressure.
Certain Cancers: Identifies ocular signs of systemic cancers, aiding early detection and treatment.
Comfortable and Non-Invasive
Patient Comfort: The non-invasive nature ensures a painless and comfortable experience.
Efficient Diagnostics: Provides immediate, detailed results for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
No Blurry Vision Post-Dilation: This avoids the inconvenience of blurry vision after traditional dilation, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately.
