dilation drops ...a thing of the past? Everyone knows the importance of an annual eye exam, but many are unaware of how important those dreaded dilation drops are. While eye exams are primarily to look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is crucial to verify that your eye is healthy. Nobody looks forward to the blurry vision or light sensitivity but the doctor recommends it so you go through with it. However, the truth is it’s extremely important for the doctor to be able to see to your retina because this can lead to early detection of common diseases, such as glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. But what if you didn’t need the drops every time and you could avoid that and still have your retina examined? Well, now it’s possible! Thanks to the newest technology in optometry, Dr. Roy Bruce of EyeSee Solution, the exam is quick, Health painless, and does not require dilation drops! With the new retina photography machine you simply look into the device one eye at a time where you will see a comfortable flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken. Then in only 1/4 of a second an ultra-wide field retinal image is captured. This unique technology captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina at one time. The images are available immediately for review and you can see your own retina exactly as your eye care practitioner does, even in a 3D animation. Nothing touches your eye at any time and it is suitable for the entire family. Almost everyone is a good candidate for the exam however, some of the best candidates are those patients that can’t or don’t want to be dilated, children, anyone with a history of eye problems such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and people that are light sensitive, just to name a few.
