Advanced Retinal Imaging

At Michigan Eye Consultants, we use advanced retinal imaging to get a clearer, more complete picture of your eye health—often before you notice any symptoms. These scans help us detect changes earlier, track subtle shifts over time, and make more confident decisions about your care.

Optomap® Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging

Optomap captures a wide view of your retina—the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye—in a single image.
​​​​​​​
Optomap can show more than 82% of your retina in one capture, compared to only about 40–55% with many standard imaging methods. That wider view helps us evaluate both the center and the far edges (peripheral retina), where important findings can be missed.

Optomap can help your doctor screen for and monitor changes related to:

  • Diabetes- and blood pressure–related eye changes

  • Retinal tears or thinning (especially in higher prescriptions)

  • Macular degeneration and other retinal conditions

  • General retinal health over time (baseline + monitoring)

Maestro OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

OCT is a non-invasive scan that creates a layer-by-layer “cross-section” of the retina and (when needed) the optic nerve. Think of it like an ultrasound—using light instead of sound—so we can see fine details that aren’t visible on a regular exam.

OCT is especially helpful for:

  • Glaucoma risk and optic nerve monitoring

  • Macular degeneration monitoring

  • Detecting and tracking retinal swelling or fluid

  • Establishing a clear baseline to compare year over year

Why this matters

Advanced imaging helps us:

  • Catch issues earlier (often before vision changes)

  • Confirm what we’re seeing during your exam with more detail

  • Track subtle changes over time with objective images

  • Support timely treatment decisions and referrals when needed

Who should consider advanced imaging?

We often recommend retinal imaging if you:

  • Are 40+, or want a proactive eye health baseline

  • Have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease

  • Have a high prescription (especially higher nearsightedness)

  • Are a glaucoma suspect or have optic nerve concerns

  • Have symptoms like new floaters, flashes, or changes in vision

  • Want the most detailed view of your retinal health

What to expect

These scans are quick and comfortable—usually taking just a few minutes. In some cases, we may still recommend dilation for a more complete evaluation. Imaging doesn’t replace your comprehensive exam—it enhances it.
