Why We Use Optos Scan: Catching Vision Threats Before You Even Notice

At Victory Vision Care, our commitment is to protect and preserve your eyesight with the most advanced technology available. One of the most powerful tools in our diagnostic arsenal is the Optos Ultra-widefield Retinal Imaging system. This revolutionary device helps us detect potential vision threats long before you notice any changes to your eyesight.

What Is Optos Ultra-widefield Retinal Imaging?

Traditional eye exams typically allow your doctor to view only a small portion of your retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. However, the Optos scan captures a high-resolution, panoramic image of up to 200 degrees of your retina in a single shot. This means we can see over 80% of your retina, compared to just 15% with conventional methods.
 

Early Detection Is Key

Many serious eye conditions begin without obvious symptoms. Diseases like diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears or detachments, macular degeneration, and even signs of high blood pressure or diabetes can be present in the retina well before you experience any vision changes. By detecting these issues early, we can initiate treatment or refer you to a specialist before your sight is at risk.

Who Can Benefit from Optos Scans?

Everyone can benefit from ultra widefield retinal imaging. Whether you’re coming in for a routine exam or have specific risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease, an Optos scan provides crucial insights into your overall eye health.

The Optos Advantage

The Optos scan is a non-invasive and comfortable procedure. It is quick, painless, and often does not require dilation drops, which makes your visit much more convenient.
 

With just a single image, we are able to examine a significantly larger area of your retina compared to traditional methods. This comprehensive view increases our ability to detect subtle or hidden issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
 

Additionally, the digital images from the Optos scan provide detailed documentation of your retinal health over time. This allows us to track any changes and respond proactively to potential concerns, helping you maintain optimal eye health.
