iWellnessExam

Annual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. In our continuing efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Vision Source Viera / Lifetime Eyecare is proud to announce the inclusion of the iWellnessExam as an important part of our complete eye examination.

Similar to an MRI or CT scan for the eye, the iWellnessExam uses spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to produce cross sectional images of the retinal layers – which is sensitive area of the back of your eye – in a matter of seconds.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress without symptoms. In early stages, you may not even notice a change in your vision. But sight threatening conditions and diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and others can be detected with a thorough exam of the retina, including the iWellnessExam.

The iWellnessExam provides:

• Detailed SD-OCT scan reports to show a healthy eye or detect early signs of disease.
• Thickness maps of the retina and ganglion cell complex giving your doctor detailed information simply not available with other methods.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss your iWellnessExam scan reports with Dr.Fisher at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your file, which allows Dr. Fisher to compare your iWellnessExam scan reports each year to look for changes.

The iWellnessExam is fast, easy, and comfortable for patients of all age and provides your doctor with valuable information about the health of your most precious gift – your sight.
