Overview
A Fundus Scan, also known as retinal imaging or fundus photography, captures detailed photographs of the back of your eye, including the retina, optic nerve, macula, and blood vessels. This non-invasive imaging provides crucial information about your eye health and can detect signs of various systemic diseases.
The retina is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be directly observed without surgery. This makes fundus imaging valuable not only for detecting eye diseases but also for monitoring conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease that affect blood vessels throughout the body.
Our advanced fundus imaging technology captures ultra-high-resolution images that can be magnified and analyzed in detail. These images become part of your permanent medical record, allowing us to track changes over time and detect subtle progression of eye conditions before they cause noticeable vision loss.
