What is a Digital Retinal Scan?
A digital retinal camera^ takes high-resolution images of the fundus (also called retina) inside the eye. They provide insight into the health of the eye and provide a visual tool for our optometrists to explain certain ocular conditions to their patients. They are a great means of record keeping as it allows us to monitor changes more efficiently and provide an easy comparison between visits.
