Alvernon Optical - Alvernon & 5th recommends optomap retinal imaging as part of your comprehensive eye exam.

We are thrilled to provide optomap to our patients in Alvernon Optical - Alvernon & 5th! By adding optomap to your comprehensive eye exam, you are facilitating better eye health for you and your loved ones.

What is optomap Retinal Imaging?

Your retina (located in the back of your eye) is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen directly. This means that in addition to eye conditions, signs of other diseases (for example, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes) can also be seen in the retina. Early signs of these conditions can show on your retina long before you notice any changes to your vision or feel pain. While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. Early detection means successful treatments can be administered and reduces the risk to your sight and health.

Getting an optomap image is fast, painless, and comfortable. Nothing touches your eye at any time. It is suitable for the whole family. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time (like looking through a keyhole) and you will see a flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken. The image capture takes less than half a second and you can view it with your eye care provider.

optomap is a cutting-edge retinal imaging technology that provides a 200-degree view of the retina and unlike traditional eye exams, where your doctor can only view a small portion of the retina at a time, this larger, single-capture view enables your eye care professional to detect, diagnose, and treat eye conditions and diseases at the earliest stages.

What are the Benefits of optomap Imaging?

<strong>opto</strong>map equipment

optomap imaging technology is setting a new standard for preventive eye health measures.

Early Detection of Eye Conditions

With its expansive view, optomap imaging can identify signs of eye diseases such as nevi “eye freckles”, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration more easily.

Part of your Medical Health Record

Unlike traditional retinal exams, optomap can be saved to your medical record for future comparisons.

Protection even with no visual complaints

Recent studies have shown that doctors who use optomap imaging, are seeing retinal pathology 97% of the time in patients who have no vision complaints.


4 Reasons to Add optomap to Your Comprehensive Eye Exam

  • Comprehensive Health Insights

    Beyond eye health, this type of imaging can reveal indicators of systemic diseases, including potential risks for stroke and cardiovascular disease, offering a window into your overall well-being.

  • Efficiency and Comfort

    The eye exam is quick, painless, and comfortable for patients of all ages. optomap is complementary to dilation, and your eye care provider will determine if you require both.

  • A Foundation for Preventative Care

    The optomap retinal imaging device is crucial in preventative health care by facilitating early detection of both ocular and systemic conditions. Helping to safeguard not just your vision but your overall eye health.

  • A Key Component of Comprehensive Eye Care

    Incorporating the optomap device into our practice is part of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest standard of eye care. This technology complements our range of services, from routine eye exams to more in-depth care, ensuring you receive a thorough and accurate eye health assessment.

Getting your eyes checked regularly is important for maintaining good eye health. optomap imaging can help detect potential eye problems early on and give you a more informed understanding of your eye health. So, whether you're experiencing symptoms or just due for your regular eye checkup, make an appointment for the optomap eye exam.

I have been going to Alvernon Optical for a long time. The optometrist is wonderful and the overall ... service is excellent. I recently broke my glasses and they helped me get new ones under their warranty. They came in pretty fast and I can see well again. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr Lewis for many years. His quality of care is excellent and I followed hi... m to Alvernon Optical after he recently left LensCrafters. I found the staff at Alvernon to be very helpful and friendly. A great start! Ps. Sorry for your loss, LensCrafters. Dr Lewis is the best!

I love this place. They are so peaceful at this location. They took care of me when I was injured J... anuary 12,2023 they gave my brother a good discount on a pair of glasses. God bless you all and I'll be in soon for a new pair or 2!🤓🧐

This is the eye care I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been to 3 different places in Tucson in t... he last 5 years but they do not compare to Alvernon Optical. Dr. Lewis really is the best! He takes his time with you and is very warm, which is hard to find.

Dr Cinalli is great. He answered all of my questions and was not dismissive of my concerns in any wa... y, as so many doctors are. I have a congenital eye problem and know what works best for me, as far as prescriptions and eyewear go. He didn't try to talk me into progressives (so tired of that) and gave me exactly what I needed in my prescriptions. The staff was friendly and efficient and weren't pushy with sales (so tired of that, too). I will definitely be going back and I'm sorry I didn't find Alvernon Optical years ago.

Very professional and kind. Dr. Lewis is the best! I followed him from his previous office and would... n’t change doctors ever.
