In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Dr. Keriotis is proud to announce the inclusion of Digital Retinal Photography as an integral part of your eye exam.

Have you ever seen the inside of your eye? See what the doctor sees when he looks in your eyes! We feel it is important that our patients understand what we are looking for, and what we see when the doctor looks inside your eyes.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress with no symptoms. Early on, you might not notice any change in your vision. However, diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, as well as other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can be detected with a thorough exam of the retina. The retina is the part of your eye that catches the image of what you are looking at, similar to the film in a camera.

Digital Retinal Photography consists of a digital camera system that takes a photograph of your retina. Here is a summary of the benefits of Digital Retinal Photography:

• A scan to confirm a healthy eye or detect the presence of disease.
• An overview or map of the retina, giving your eye doctor a more detailed view than he can achieve by other means.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the images of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.

A permanent record for your medical file, enabling Dr. Keriotis to make important comparisons if potential problems show themselves at a future examination.
