Should You Opt In for the Retinal Image During Your Next Eye Exam?

August 1, 2025

When it comes to protecting your vision, early detection is everything. At Vision Center South in Dothan, Alabama, we strongly recommend opting in for the retinal image as part of your comprehensive eye exam. This advanced imaging technology gives our doctors a detailed view of the back of your eye and helps detect early signs of disease that might otherwise go unnoticed.
 

What Is Retinal Imaging?

Retinal imaging captures a high-resolution image of your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels using a special camera. This quick, non-invasive scan allows us to view parts of your eye that we can’t see with standard tools alone. It takes just seconds, and the results are available instantly for your optometrist to review with you.
 

Why Is Retinal Imaging Crucial?

Your retina plays a vital role in your ability to see clearly, and many vision-threatening conditions start here - with no warning signs. Retinal imaging helps us detect early indicators of:
 

•          Diabetic Retinopathy

•          Glaucoma

•          Macular Degeneration

•          Retinal Detachment

•          Hypertension-Related Eye Changes


Even if your vision seems perfect today, retinal imaging allows us to establish a visual baseline. That means we can track changes in your eye health over time and catch potential problems early.
 

It’s Not Just for People with Eye Problems

One of the biggest misconceptions is that retinal imaging is only necessary if you have an existing eye condition. In reality, many eye diseases begin with no symptoms. Retinal imaging is an essential part of preventative care for all patients, especially as you age or if you have risk factors like diabetes or high blood pressure.
