The Digital Retinal Camera takes a high-resolution digital picture of your retina.  This picture clearly shows the health of your eyes and allows for a baseline of your ocular health to be kept on file.  

Your optometrist can than compare your photos year to year to see any subtle changes that may not have been otherwise detectable. 

We strongly recommend that any patient with diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration or any other eye condition have retinal photos taken on a regular basis.
