Announcing the Addition of New Technology
February 2007
Bennett Optometry is excited to announce the addition of new technology that will
allow us to provide you with a more thorough medical analysis of
your eyes. The digital retinal imaging system takes images of the retina (the back of your eye) usually without dilation. This procedure assists the doctor in the early detection of many disorders. The images are stored in the computer and can be compared to images from future exams. This process allows the doctor to observe even the smallest amount of change from the previous images.
It is strongly recommended that all patients have this procedure performed.
It is especially important for people who have:
1) Family history of diabetes
2) Family history of glaucoma
3) Family history of macular degeneration
4) High cholesterol
5) Family history of high blood pressure
6) Headaches
7) Flashes of light or floaters
8) Reached the age of 40
9) New patients
There is an additional fee of $35.00 for this screening
procedure. If a diagnosis is made because of this procedure,
your insurance may cover the cost and further evaluation.
