Blue Springs Optical recommends optomap retinal imaging as part of your comprehensive eye exam.

We are thrilled to provide optomap to our patients in Blue Springs Optical! By adding optomap to your comprehensive eye exam, you are facilitating better eye health for you and your loved ones.

What is optomap Retinal Imaging?

Your retina (located in the back of your eye) is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen directly. This means that in addition to eye conditions, signs of other diseases (for example, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes) can also be seen in the retina. Early signs of these conditions can show on your retina long before you notice any changes to your vision or feel pain. While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. Early detection means successful treatments can be administered and reduces the risk to your sight and health.

Getting an optomap image is fast, painless, and comfortable. Nothing touches your eye at any time. It is suitable for the whole family. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time (like looking through a keyhole) and you will see a flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken. The image capture takes less than half a second and you can view it with your eye care provider.

optomap is a cutting-edge retinal imaging technology that provides a 200-degree view of the retina and unlike traditional eye exams, where your doctor can only view a small portion of the retina at a time, this larger, single-capture view enables your eye care professional to detect, diagnose, and treat eye conditions and diseases at the earliest stages.

optomap imaging technology is setting a new standard for preventive eye health measures.

Early Detection of Eye Conditions

With its expansive view, optomap imaging can identify signs of eye diseases such as nevi “eye freckles”, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration more easily.

Part of your Medical Health Record

Unlike traditional retinal exams, optomap can be saved to your medical record for future comparisons.

Protection even with no visual complaints

Recent studies have shown that doctors who use optomap imaging, are seeing retinal pathology 97% of the time in patients who have no vision complaints.

4 Reasons to Add optomap to Your Comprehensive Eye Exam

  • Comprehensive Health Insights

    Beyond eye health, this type of imaging can reveal indicators of systemic diseases, including potential risks for stroke and cardiovascular disease, offering a window into your overall well-being.

  • Efficiency and Comfort

    The eye exam is quick, painless, and comfortable for patients of all ages. optomap is complementary to dilation, and your eye care provider will determine if you require both.

  • A Foundation for Preventative Care

    The optomap retinal imaging device is crucial in preventative health care by facilitating early detection of both ocular and systemic conditions. Helping to safeguard not just your vision but your overall eye health.

  • A Key Component of Comprehensive Eye Care

    Incorporating the optomap device into our practice is part of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest standard of eye care. This technology complements our range of services, from routine eye exams to more in-depth care, ensuring you receive a thorough and accurate eye health assessment.

Getting your eyes checked regularly is important for maintaining good eye health. optomap imaging can help detect potential eye problems early on and give you a more informed understanding of your eye health. So, whether you're experiencing symptoms or just due for your regular eye checkup, make an appointment for the optomap eye exam.

**Amended, I was called and my situation was discussed, options were provided, and ultimately they h... ave done what they could to make it right. That is service one can appreciate. The initial exam and everything was great. The doctor who saw to me was fantastic. Everything else, not great. I went in wanting contacts. I said it every chance I could get, but mentioned I was cautious because the last time I tried them (over a decade ago), it didn't go well. This place was recommended to me by someone who experienced the same thing I did with contacts and said they were great. I was given sample packs to check out, and then that was it in terms of the contacts. No instructions on how to use them (I did my research and got them to work), no questions about going forward with them, nothing. I was, in my opinion, rushed to pick out glasses which I specified was my second choice. Then nothing was really explained in that process, all these options were chosen (if I'm being fair I probably would have chose them anyway) but nothing was discussed in terms of pricing or if I choose glasses, I won't be allowed to use my insurance against my contacts purchase, and on top of that it was nearly $700.00. I should have stopped the whole process but I haven't had an opportunity to go to an eye physician since 2017. As much as I liked the doctor, I won't be going back. When I picked up my glasses and asked about the contacts part, it seemed like the blame was being put on me. They weren't malicious per se, but very passively it seemed like they were saying it was my fault I didn't get contacts and then told me after all that about the part where I couldn't get contacts as well. Plus, I never received a contact prescription either nor was I fitted for any so it's not like I can just go buy them myself without likely having to fork over more money. I rarely ever give a negative review but this one I feel is earned.
