Optomap Digital Imaging
Optomap is a non-dilated technology that uses a safe scanning laser to
create an image of the inside of the eye. This technology allows us to
document the internal structures of the eye and detect over 100 different
eye diseases such as retinal detachments, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma,
macular degeneration, and retinal changes due to high blood pressure and
cholesterol.
Dr. Cole and Dr. Dodd strongly recommend images be taken each year on
all patients, no matter the age, to monitor for any changes. Once the
image is taken, it will be reviewed with you by the doctor in the examination
room.
Our doctors’ current opinions are that Optomap is not a complete
replacement for dilating the pupils. However, during this time of
COVID-19 and to decrease the risk of viral spread, the doctors prefer
that patients utilize this option in lieu of dilation.

The procedure is quick and simple! It is not covered by most insurance
companies, as they do not cover screenings. We offer the digital imaging
for $33 on the day of your examination.
