OPTOS® Digital Retinal Imaging

We offer the optomap® Retinal Exam, which produces an ultra-wide digital image to examine the health of your retina, as an important part of our eye exams. Diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems can be detected with the optomap® Retinal Exam in conjunction with Dr. Hussing's or Dr. Glanville's thorough assessment.

Conventional Retinal imaging Technology
only captures a small area of the retina at a time

With the Optomap® Retinal Exam,
the majority of the retina is visible in one single image

An optomap® Retinal Exam provides:

• A scan to show a healthy eye or detect disease
• Comfortable and quick image capture
• A 200-degree view of the retina, giving our doctors a more detailed view than they could get by other means
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the optomap® image of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam
• A permanent record for your file, which allows us to view your images each year to look for changes

The optomap® Retinal Exam is fast, easy, and comfortable for all ages. For more information on the optomap®, visit the Optos website!

New Laser Test Detects Glaucoma: The HRT Test
When people hear HRT today, they think of hormone replacement therapy. But in this case, HRT stands for Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph, a new diagnostic procedure proving effective in the early identification of glaucoma. In addition to this timely detection of glaucoma, it also provides information for monitoring the disease in follow-up examinations.


Glaucoma affects about 3 million Americans, and half of these people don't know they have it! A leading cause of blindness in the United States glaucoma is a disease that commonly affects older people, but can occur at any age. It has no symptoms at first; however, over the years glaucoma can steal your sight. With early treatment, you can protect your eyes against vision loss and blindness.

The HRT test is beneficial for people at risk for glaucoma. This includes individuals with a family history of glaucoma, anyone over age 60, anyone who is extremely nearsighted, anyone who has diabetes, high blood pressure, migraines, or heart disease, and those of African-American or Hispanic descent.

The HRT scanning laser ophthalmoscope displays the depth and shape of the optic nerve and surrounding tissue of the retina. It provides detail of early damage and degeneration. Our innovative HRT program and our upgrade to the newly released HRT3 program is part of our commitment to provide vision and eye health care that is the most current and effective.
