Retinal Examination Options:
As part of your comprehensive eye exam, all patients receive an Optomap photograph or dilation for retinal evaluation:
Optomap:
- Ages 6–18: Optomap is the standard method, providing advanced imaging, early disease detection, and a record for future comparison.
Dilation:
- Ages 5 and younger: Dilation with drops is required for accurate developmental analysis.
Note: Some patients over 5 may also require dilation based on the doctor’s findings.
