Vista Eye Care recently provided us with a Q&A session with Dr. Christine Bartoletti to discuss how optomap has changed their practice. We wanted to share some salient points from this interview, so you could see how Optos technology can work for your practice and patients.
Please read this brief highlight of the interview to learn about some of the benefits Vista Eye Care has experienced with our ever advancing technology.
How does optomap work and why should it be used?
To determine the health of the retina, optomap enables us to take an ultra-widefield image, which images 200 degrees or 82% of the retina. We recommend that it be used as part of a regular comprehensive annual eye exam because the year-over-year images can be compared at each assessment to plan any necessary treatments.
Why did you want this technology to be a part of your practice?
With optomap, I’m able to achieve a wider view of the retina without having to dilate my patients’ eyes. Additionally, I can compare images from one year to the next to detect changes easier and make earlier diagnoses.
Is the experience frightening or difficult for your patients?
