Digital Retinal Imaging
Instead of dilating your eyes to check your retina's health, we use a high definition imaging scanner to capture an image, or create a mosaic of images of the back of your eye. Dr. Atkins is able to detect and diagnose a wide variety of conditions with the information he sees and can keep a record of your retina's health over the years. If he finds something he considers concerning, he may recommend a treatment or refer you to a retinal specialist.
COST: the lesser of $25 or your listed copay.
Reasons why we may dilate instead of taking the retinal image: 1) small pupil, 2) we are doing an evaluation for LASIK, 3) Dr. Atkins decides it's needed, 4) patient opts for dilation.
Please note that if you choose to be dilated, your eyes should return to normal within 4-48 hours. We recommend planning to be here for an additional 45-60 minutes, bringing sunglasses, and having a family member drive.
