Stonewire Optometry uses state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the best possible eye care. One of the advanced tools we use is the Optomap camera, which provides a wider field of view compared to 3D OCT retinal scans.

The Optomap captures an ultra-widefield digital image of your retina, allowing us to see up to 82% of the retina in a single picture. On the other hand, OCT images only reveal about 15% of the retina. This means we can detect and diagnose eye conditions that may not be easily visible with a basic non-dilated eye exam, such as retinal detachments and tumours.

3D OCT retinal scans, on the other hand, capture a cross-sectional image of the retina, providing a detailed view of the layers of the retina. While this technology helps detect and diagnose eye conditions, it does not offer the same comprehensive view of the retina as the Optomap.

At Stonewire Optometry, early detection and prevention of eye conditions are vital to maintaining good eye health and clear, comfortable vision. We use Optomap to provide you with the most comprehensive eye exam possible.
