Optomap Retinal Imaging

20-20 was the first optometry store in the world to offer Optomap Retinal Imaging as part of its standard eye examinations.

Since then, other companies have realized that Optomap is the most thorough way to analyze a patient’s retina and check for problems.

However, we continue to be the largest user of Optomap worldwide and offer it as a part of our standard eye exams.

WHAT IS OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING?

Optomap Retinal Imaging uses a camera that gives optometrists a 200 degree view of the back of the patient’s eye. This gives a much better picture of the retina than conventional cameras, which most opticians with an imaging system still use.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING?

Optomap Retinal Imaging offers a number of important benefits including:

HOW DOES OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING WORK?

When we use Optomap Retinal Imaging, we ask the patient to look through a scanning instrument at a green spot surrounded by a red outer circle. When the patient sees that the circle has become red, the Optomap photograph is taken.

It takes less than a second to take an Optomap photograph of the back of the eye. The optometrist then analyzes the photograph to check for any eye problems.

HOW MUCH DOES OPTOMAP RETINAL IMAGING COST?

Most other Optomap providers in the UK charge around £25 for Optomap Retinal Imaging.

However we include it as part of our standard eye exams without any additional costs.
