What Is Retinal Imaging? Why It Matters for Your Eye Health in Syracuse and West Point
Your eyes are incredibly complex — and some of the most important signs of eye disease happen deep inside, where you cannot see them yourself.
That is where retinal imaging comes in.
At Lakeview Eye Care, we use advanced retinal imaging technology to get a detailed look at the health of your eyes. This quick, painless scan can help detect problems before they cause vision loss — giving you peace of mind and better long-term outcomes.
What Is Retinal Imaging?
Retinal imaging is a digital scan that captures a high-resolution image of the back of your eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels.
This technology allows your eye doctor to:
Spot early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy
Check the health of your optic nerve and retina
Monitor changes over time with precise comparisons
Keep detailed records of your eye health
Unlike the old-fashioned method of dilating your eyes and examining them with a light, retinal imaging is fast, non-invasive, and does not require recovery time.
Why Is It Important?
Many serious eye conditions start without noticeable symptoms. By the time you experience vision loss, permanent damage may already be done.
Retinal imaging helps detect:
Glaucoma (optic nerve damage)
Age-related macular degeneration
Diabetic retinopathy (retinal blood vessel damage)
Retinal tears or detachments
Hypertensive retinopathy (linked to high blood pressure)
Early detection allows for earlier treatment — and that can make all the difference.
