Walters Opticians are pleased to announce that we can now offer you the latest in
digital retinal photography. Our new Topcon camera
allows us to take an instant photograph of the back of your eye.
- This better, more detailed inspection of the retina allows for a fast and more reliable
diagnosis than has previously been possible.
- Abnormal images can be stored on a computer and recalled to monitor changes from
one visit to the next.
- If referral is necessary to an eye specialist the picture can be sent with your
referral for a more efficient diagnosis.
The cost of this state of the art equipment is not met by the NHS
but we believe everyone could benefit by it and we therefore do not currently
charge specifically for it.
DIGITAL RETINAL IMAGING - WHAT IT DOES
Digital Retinal Photography allows us to capture an image of the
back of your eye that we record and can compare against each time you have an eye
examination. This not only allows us to monitor and treat known conditions you may
have, but also allows us to detect eye conditions in an early stage that may not
otherwise show symptoms.
The brief list below are examples of the eye conditions that we can detect using
this technology. For more information about each condition, and to view an example
of a Digital retinal Photograph, simply click on the underlined eye
condition.
