Fox News shows new eye doctor technology: the optomap® Retinal Exam

Fox News explains a new eye doctor technology called the optomap Retinal Exam. This exam views the back of the eye called the retina. Like fingerprints, no one has the same pattern. Retinas are an instant way to identify a person, but it can also be a window to your health. The optomap image captured by the exam stores patients' images to their patient history. The dual laser system can be used to detect cancer, diabetes, and macular degeneration. The optomap retinal exam can capture up to a 200 degree panoramic view of the retina. It is noted that the optomap is not a subsitute for the traditional eye exam, but Dr. Shawn Hollander, O.D. believes someday that will change.
