Digital Retinal Photography

Digital Retinal Photography is a quick and painless procedure that enhances the way eye health is checked. Here are the main benefits:

• An accurate permanent record can be saved - allowing even the smallest changes to noted and monitored at subsequent eye examinations
• The Retina is the only place in the entire body, where the appearance of the blood vessels can be viewed directly. Unusual blood vessel size or appearance can indicate raised blood pressure, high cholesterol, or show signs of circulatory disorders.
• More accurate information can be forwarded to an eye specialist if a referral is required
• It allows you, the patient, a better understanding of what the optometrist does and sees when looking into your eye
• It provides peace of mind that the eyes are healthy

Digital Retinal photography is available as part of the Comprehensive Eye Examination for both private and NHS patients.  Please see our price guide.  We also offer Digital Retinal Photography for children and teenagers for only £5! Unfortunately, it not possible to carry out this procedure during a home visit.
