The Benefits of Optos Retinal Exams

October 9, 2024

Optos Retinal Exams provide a revolutionary approach to eye health by allowing comprehensive imaging of the retina without the need for dilation. At Dr. Shannon Chandler & Associates in Las Vegas, these advanced retinal exams are a key part of preventive eye care, helping to detect potential issues early on. The Optos technology captures a wide-field view of the retina in a single image, giving your optometrist the ability to examine the eye's health in greater detail, identifying conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.

Unlike traditional methods that require dilation, which can cause discomfort and blurred vision for hours afterward, Optos Retinal Exams are quick, painless, and convenient. In just a matter of seconds, the advanced imaging captures up to 80% of the retina, compared to the 10-15% provided by standard methods. This allows Dr. Shannon Chandler & Associates to not only detect early signs of disease but also to track changes in the retina over time, making it an invaluable tool for ongoing eye health management.

Optos Retinal Exams are suitable for patients of all ages, making them ideal for routine eye exams and for those with specific risk factors like diabetes or a family history of eye disease. Early detection through advanced imaging can lead to timely treatment and better outcomes for eye health.
