Your eye health determines the state of your sight and your overall wellness. A comprehensive eye examination helps detect the aspects of your eyes that the naked eye cannot. Technological advancement in retinal imaging helps experts catch eye conditions like macular degeneration. It helps to do so early before they worsen.

Eye experts previously used pupil dilation before the introduction of retinal imaging. The dilation helped examine your optic nerve and retinal health. However, you will experience light sensitivity and blurred vision after the test. Fortunately, retinal imaging does not have such side effects. It is also beneficial in offering a broader view of the patient’s eye five times better.

Retinal imaging helps identify and treat ocular problems that traditional methods may not detect. Optos has made this effective and possible through the Optos® California machine.

Why Optos California Machine?

The California machine helps view the retina better. It combines software and hardware technologies to help identify and cure more optical pathology. In doing so, it promotes the health and wellness of patients.

The California machine’s optical hardware helps optimize and maintain optomap image resolutions. It does so throughout the retina scanning to help give more clarity from the farthest periphery. You can scroll through the saved pictures to compare dates or images.

The California machine gives professionals a 200-degree immediate perspective at a single scan of an eye. It produces a high-resolution photo or picture in less than half a second. It captures your retina in one image up to 82 percent in various modalities.

Eye care professionals using the California machine can see 50 percent more of the patient’s retina. It also has other benefits like a motorized chin and headrest to help patients needing extra help while undergoing the imaging.
