Retinal Exam

In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Dr. Josephine Ngong-Tawe conducts a retinal examination as an integral part of your eye exam.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress with no symptoms. Diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, as well as other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can be detected with a thorough exam of the retina, even before any noticeable changes in vision are observed. The retina is the part of your eye that catches the image of what you are looking at, similar to the film in a camera.

A retinal eye exam provides:

• A scan to confirm a healthy eye or detect the presence of retinal eye disease.
• An image of the retina, giving your eye doctor a more detailed view than he can achieve by other means.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the images of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your medical file, enabling your optometrist to make important comparisons if potential problems show themselves at a future examination.
