Annual visits to the optometrist are important to the overall health of your eyes. Dr. Lisa Walker, Optometrist understands the importance of retinal imaging and scanning and implements that as a part of her routine eye exams.
Retinal scanning helps detect early signs of damage to the retina and can detect retinal abnormalities. It allows the doctor to get a much wider digital view of the retina. It doesn’t replace a regular exam but adds another layer of precision to it.
Dr. Walker may recommend a retinal scan if you suffer from diabetes and / or macular degeneration. Most eye care professionals recommend that you have a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years, depending on your age and other risk factors, including if you currently wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.
