  • @smitty195 while your on it they can

  • heres what happens- you put your chin on a rest on the machine. then they give you a click and a bright light comes and a bang bright green light and then-picture

  • They pulled a fast one on the viewers in this segment. That was NOT a "live" view of the eye. The way Optomap works is that you place the patient at the machine as you see on this video, then you press a button which snaps a VERY bright light and it's at this moment when Optomap takes a still photo of your eye. They were looking at a still photo, not a live picture. I don't know why they misled us like that---it doesn't make sense.

  • I had this done last week - absolutely amazing, I got to see the back of my eye for the first time! My doctor didn't find anything wrong with me, but it gave me piece of mind. Extra cool, because this replaced the need for me to be dilated! Awesome!

  • They don't know weather I'm near sighted because my vision is hardly good. I can see 4 out of 200.

    I'm considered legally blind. To learn about my health Please read my channel.

    It tells you all about me.

    Thanks.

    So, when they did the test, and you put your head in the machine, after that how long did it take for your f vision to return from the flash?

    It only took mine like a few seconds.

    I LOVE THAT TEST

  • Nope, I didn't hear anything.

    It was just a quick flash - blinding kinda. LOL.

    I'm nearsighted though. Are you?

  • Mine are very tiny. I am almost blind in both eyes. I was born with very very tiny eyes. They can't see my optic nerve very well with these machines.

    I'm glad you were ok.

    So, what did u think about the GDX?

    Did that machine hum when the Dr. moved the red light around in that black chinrest?

  • It showed normal stuff.

    The OptoMap showed that my optic nerves were different sizes. The Dr. said that's normal.

    Were your optic nerves the same size or different??

  • What did the GDX show?

    What did the optimap show?

  • Yes.

    I got myself some cool shades after-words. LOL.
