Spectrum Family Optometry gives to the less fortunate this holiday Season.
Spectrum Family Optometry sent Dr Kevin Tsen to the homeless connect this year to provide free eye exams to the needy. The homeless connect is a wonderful event that is held twice a year to give back to people in need. Pearle Vision is the leader in this event, as it provides a free pair of glasses to those who cannot afford it. We are happy to be partnered with them in this event. If you wish to donate your time next year please register at http://www.homelessconnectyeg.com/

Optomaps are now included with every adult eye exams.
What is an optomap Image?
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 comfortable flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken.
Under normal circumstances, dilation drops might not be necessary, but your eye care practioner will decide if your pupils need to be dilated depending on your conditions. The capture takes less than a second. Images are available immediately for review. You can see your own retina. You see exactly what your eye care practitioner sees - even in a 3D animation.
Early signs of disease can be present in the periphery of your retina and remain undetected for a long time when using traditional methods.
The optomap ultra-widefield retinal image is a unique technology that captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina at one time.
Benefits of an optomap
The benefits of having an optomap ultra-widefield retinal image taken are:
- optomap facilitates early protection from vision impairment or blindness
- Early detection of life-threatening diseases like cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease
The unique optomap ultra-widefield view helps your eye care practitioner detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams
Early detection means successful treatments can be administered and reduces the risk to your sight and health.
