Digital retinal photography provides a detailed objective view of the retina, optic nerve and the retinal blood supply, and allows screening for changes due to conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma and high blood pressure. By providing a permanent record of your retina, DRP helps the doctors monitors for any changes in retinal health over time.
Unlike a typical photo, an OCT gives a cross section of the retina and detailed measurements which assist in detecting retinal pathology. Patients who either have eye disease or at risk of developing eye disease will benefit from this quick, non-invasive test.
