We are excited to let you know that during your
next visit to Alpine Vision Center, you will experience the benefits of the
latest advancement in primary eyecare – the iWellnessExam™. The iWellnessExam
uses breakthrough technology called spectral domain optical coherence
tomography or SD-OCT. Similar to an
MRI or CT scan, the iWellnessExam captures
high definition cross sectional images of your retina, which is the back of
your eye, and allows
our doctors to see in unprecedented clarity what may be invisible with
traditional examination methods.
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 evaluation of
the retina, including the iWellnessExam.
The
iWellnessExam is a fast, simple procedure that
provides:
§
A detailed SD-OCT scan
report to show a healthy eye or detect very early signs of disease.
§
A retinal thickness map
and ganglion cell complex assessment giving your doctor detailed information
simply not available with other methods.
§
The opportunity for you
to view and discuss your iWellnessExam report
with your doctor at the time of your exam.
§
A permanent record for
your file, which allows Drs. Wilson, Polito, & Zollman to compare your iWellnessExam reports each year to look for changes.
At
Alpine Vision Center, we are dedicated to providing our patients the best eye
care possible and the iWellnessExam helps us
achieve that. We look forward to seeing
you at your next appointment!
