Retinal Scans
Get a detailed view of your eye health with advanced retinal imaging from Dr. Terry L. Bonds in Jacksonville, Alabama.
A Closer Look at Your Eye Health
A retinal scan captures detailed images of the retina, optic nerve, blood vessels, and other structures at the back of the eye. These images can reveal subtle changes that may not be noticeable through vision symptoms alone.
Retinal imaging gives Dr. Bonds valuable information about your current eye health and creates a visual record that can be compared during future visits.
What Can Retinal Imaging Detect?
Retinal scans can help identify or monitor signs associated with several eye and health conditions, including:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Retinal tears or damage
- Changes involving the optic nerve
- Certain effects of high blood pressure
A retinal scan does not replace a comprehensive eye exam, but it can provide additional insight when used alongside other testing.
Monitoring Changes Over Time
One of the greatest benefits of retinal imaging is the ability to compare scans from one visit to the next. This allows Dr. Bonds to track changes over time and identify concerns that may require closer monitoring or additional care.
After reviewing your images, Dr. Bonds will explain the findings and answer any questions you may have.
What to Expect During Your Scan
Retinal imaging is quick, comfortable, and noninvasive. You will look into a specialized camera while it captures high-resolution images of the inside of your eyes.
Depending on your eye health and the type of imaging needed, pupil dilation or additional testing may also be recommended.
