We at Advanced Eye Care Center are proud to provide our patients with a highly advanced Retinal Photograph Service, which scans the retina to rule out or screen for eye diseases and dramatically improves our ability to view your retinal health. EARLY DETECTION OF EYE DISEASE IS CRUCIAL The doctors recommend most patients have Digital Retinal Photography once a year so we can view and record your retina at up to 100x normal size. With this service you can expect: An annual eye wellness screening photograph An in-depth view of the retinal surface A discussion with you and the doctor regarding the images A permanent record for your medical file, for year to year comparison and diagnosis A quick, easy, comfortable experience Typically no dilation drops This technology allows the doctors to fully screen for and evaluate retinal problems such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes, detachments and diabetic retinopathy all which can lead to partial loss of vision or blindness. Also, systemic disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected during a retinal exam. Insurance is designed to cover a basic exam only. It does not cover advanced procedures such as Digital Retinal Photography. Our doctors recommend this service to our patients. There is an additional $39.00 charge for ROUTINE eye exams. If it is a MEDICAL eye exam, the fee is $88 to be billed to your insurance.
