The Optomap™ Retinal Exam
We are pleased to inform you that during your next visit
to a Lesnick Optical Group location, you will experience the
benefits of the latest technology in eye exams – the
Optomap™ Retinal Exam. The Optomap will produce the
most comprehensive image of your retina, and allow us to perform
a more thorough exam than was previously possible. The result
is that we can better prevent or reduce vision loss in our
patients with a simple, quick and patient-friendly new exam.
Any routine eye exam should always include a careful look
at the retina, which is located at the back of the eye, to
screen for abnormalities or disease. The sensitive tissue
that makes up the retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases
that can ultimately lead to partial loss of vision or even
complete blindness. Early detection of any retinal abnormality
is thus crucial. Previously, this screening was done by dilating
the pupils, a procedure that many patients found uncomfortable,
inconvenient and time-consuming.

The Optomap is made possible by using a new technology –
the Panoramic200™ Retinal Imaging System. The Optomap
enables us to see nearly all of your retina. Furthermore,
it eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience associated
with pupil dilation. As a result, you will not experience
blurred vision or sensitivity to light following your eye
exam. It is important to note however, that should any abnormalities
be detected or if we cannot obtain an acceptable image, dilation
may be necessary.
The Optomap exam is simple: at the push of a button, we can
generate a computer image of your retina for immediate review.
Experience with this technology has already led to improved
disease detection and has possibly prevented vision loss and
blindness in several patients.
We will be discussing this revolutionary exam with you further
at your next appointment. Here at Lesnick Optical Group, we
are dedicated to offering our patients the best eye care possible,
and acquiring the tools to help us do so. We look forward
to seeing you during your next visit – and providing
the most comprehensive and advanced vision care available.
