What is an Eye Wellness Exam?
An Eye Wellness Exam is a quick and non-invasive state-of-the-art scan of the eye used to see the layers of your retina to assist in diagnosing sight-threatening eye diseases. The OCT scanner can detect details that traditional eye exams and retinal photography cannot. It doesn’t use a bright flash of light, and only takes a few minutes to perform.
We encourage patients with a family history of eye disease to inquire about the Eye Wellness Exam. You may also stop by our office to take home a pamphlet during our hours of operation.
