OPTOS California

What is OPTOS California Digital Wide-field Imaging?

The OPTOS California is a cutting-edge digital imaging system that provides ultra-widefield views of the retina. Unlike conventional fundus photography, which captures only a narrow, central portion of the retina, the OPTOS California can capture up to 200 degrees of the retina in a single image. This expansive view allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the retina and its peripheral areas.

How It Compares to Conventional Fundus Photography

Conventional fundus photography typically offers a limited view of the retina, focusing on only a small, central area. This restricted perspective can miss important peripheral retinal changes or abnormalities crucial for diagnosing a range of conditions.

In contrast, the OPTOS California’s widefield imaging provides a panoramic view of the retina, enabling us to detect issues across the entire retinal surface that might be overlooked with traditional imaging techniques.

Advantages of Widefield Imaging

• Comprehensive Assessment: The extensive coverage of the OPTOS California allows us to identify and monitor retinal changes throughout the entire retina, not just the central area. This is particularly important for detecting and managing a range of serious conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, holes and tears, peripheral retinal thinning, and tumors.
• Early Detection: With its ability to view a larger portion of the retina, the OPTOS California helps in detecting early signs of eye diseases that may be missed with traditional imaging. Early detection of conditions such as peripheral retinal degenerations is crucial for timely intervention and effective management.
• Routine Use and Yearly Screening: We recommend the OPTOS California as part of a yearly eye exam for all patients. Routine screenings using this technology allow us to monitor your eye health more thoroughly and detect and monitor retinal disorders.
