Digital Eye Scanning
Borel Eye Doctors was the first eyecare practice, in both San Francisco and San Mateo counties, in 2002 to give patients instant digital scans of their retinas. Optomap's cutting-edge technology, with just the simple click of a button, has virtually replaced the outdated practice of using dilation drops.
Nobody liked those stinging dilation drops or the blurry vision afterwards. Not to mention wearing those goofy sunglasses for light sensitivity. All of that is history now. For almost all of our current patients, dilation is a thing of the past. Our full-color, ultra-wide digital retinal scanning makes the exam faster, easier and much more pleasant.
In an instant we can detect diseases, disorders but most importantly we verify when everything is looking healthy. You will see your own retina on a color monitor and our doctors will give you an instant and interactive evaluation.
“Recently, instead of getting my eyes dilated using eye drops, I used their new retinal scanner. What a pleasant speedy experience compared to hours of discomfort from having dilated pupils!”
In an effort to provide the most thorough eye exam, our practice has incorporated the iWellnessExam SD-OCT retinal scan. Like an MRI of the eye, but taking only seconds to perform, the iWellnessExam provides high def cross sections of your retina and optic nerve. These scans can reveal signs of disease in exquisite detail that are invisible to traditional examination methods. Our high-resolution, high-speed imaging takes your eye exams to a whole new level. You will be captivated by the stunning detail and invaluable insight our office can provide!
It's completely safe, FDA approved, and a ..."fascinating, pleasant and speedy experience" as one of our patients said.
