Our OPTOS Scanner is sometimes called a Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope. A regular ophthalmoscope allows the examiner to see through the pupil to the back of the eye - but because the pupil is small the view is restricted.
It's like trying to view an entire room while peeking through a keyhole. Optos scanning is like putting a tiny camera through the keyhole and seeing the whole room This means we can see virtually the entire retina without having to dilate patients.
OPTOS Test
The test takes just a few seconds, there is no discomfort and no recovery like there is when your pupils are dilated.
