Digital retinal photography is a sophisticated process that allows our ophthalmologists to take a detailed picture of the back of the eye to diagnose diseases including:

• Glaucoma
• Diabetic eye disease
• Cataracts
• Age related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Other eye conditions including those related to many general health conditions.

It can also highlight a range of other conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, risk of a stroke and symptoms associated with brain tumours.

Retinal screening is extremely comfortable, only takes a few seconds, and simply involves us taking a photograph. At no stage does anything touch your eye.
