What Is An iMap Ultra-Wide Retina Scan?

The EIDON iMap ultra-wide retina scan is a state-of-the-art method for examining the retina (the lining of the inside of your eyes which acts a bit like a movie screen). In most cases the iMap allows us to perform a comprehensive retinal exam without pupil dilation, while still allowing us to detect eye diseases, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and eye cancers.

Capturing images only takes a few seconds! Because it’s non-invasive, you can relax, knowing this technology is safe, quick, and painless.

How Can iMap Scan Benefit Me? NO DILATION!

The iMap scan makes your eye care experience more comfortable and efficient. It enhances early detection and treatment so we can better protect your eyes and general health. Of course, one of the main advantages is that it eliminates the need for pupil dilation - in most cases.

Traditionally, pupil dilation has been necessary to view the retina in detail. However, dilation causes temporary blurry vision and light sensitivity which can last for several hours. This can be inconvenient for patients. With the iMap, most patients can avoid these side effects altogether. This means that you can go about your day without the hassle of blurry vision. Unlike traditional retinal exams, we can even save your annual iMap images into your electronic patient records for comparison to your future scans.

We recommend that every patient, regardless of age or current health status, receive a yearly iMap retinal scan. Ultra-wide retinal scans are so effective that the leading vision insurance provider recommends these retinal scans annually for all their subscribers.
