An optomap provides a wider range image of the inside of your eye; a 200° field of view as opposed to the 45° view provided by other optical imaging technologies. This insightful imaging offers valuable information to aid your optometrist in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of eye conditions and diseases. The technology leveraged by optomap imaging offers multiple functions for image capture and produces a high definition, almost panoramic representation of the tissues and structures that play a critical role in your vision and overall eye health. An optomap assessment is part of every comprehensive eye exam at Bower Eye Care.
The Benefits Of Optomap Imaging
Optomap is non-invasive, painless, and can capture a clear, high-resolution image of the inside of your eye in under half a second. As part of a routine comprehensive eye exam at Bower Eye Care, optomap imaging can provide your optometrist with invaluable insight into the health of your eye, but also provide a baseline for year after year comparison. This technology is suitable for use with patients of all ages and levels of vision including small children and it is a safe imaging option for pregnant women. Optomap is useful in the detection of eye conditions such as:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Retinal detachment
- Hypertension
- Melanoma

Optomap FAQs
Optomap is a great way to compare images from your previous visit to ensure your eye remains healthy and to detect any areas of concern we need to monitor.
In most cases the optomap gives the doctor a clear picture of the inside of your eye, but in some cases due to eye pigment or when we are monitoring certain conditions we would still need to dilate your pupils for optimal clarity.
At Bower Eye Care, optomap is a part of a comprehensive eye exam. For children’s eye exams we begin to take images at age 10 unless the optometrist specifies otherwise.
