Optos UltraWide Field Imaging
A fraction of a second.
A lifetime of impact.
UltraWide Field Imaging captures up to 200 degrees of your retina in a single image — creating a permanent, high-resolution “time stamp” of your eye health.
From retinal tears and peripheral holes…
To diabetic exudates…
To suspicious lesions like choroidal melanomas…
One image can detect what might otherwise go unnoticed — and early detection can be vision-saving.
How is this different from a dilated slit lamp exam?
A traditional dilated exam is dynamic and essential — but it is:
• Dependent on clinician visualization
• Limited by patient cooperation and anatomy
• Not permanently documented in widefield format
• Less efficient at capturing the far periphery in a single view
UltraWide Field Imaging:
✔ Captures a much broader retinal view (including far periphery)
✔ Creates a digital baseline for comparison year after year
✔ Enhances detection of subtle peripheral pathology
✔ Allows co-management and referral with documented imaging
✔ Often does not require dilation
Think of it this way:
A dilated exam is a live inspection.
Optos imaging is a recorded panoramic scan.
Technology doesn’t replace clinical skill — it elevates it.
A picture taken in less than a second can help protect your vision for decades.
