The Importance of an Annual Retinal Exam

At Blink Optometry Redondo Beach, we emphasize the significance of annual retinal exams. These yearly assessments are pivotal for an accurate appraisal of your eye health, ensuring optimal treatment for your vision. Advances in optometric tools allow us to identify and address severe conditions well before they compromise your sight. A prevalent issue, glaucoma, arises from increased pressure within the eye and can silently affect vision without noticeable symptoms. It’s imperative to diagnose and treat glaucoma early, given its stealthy and painless nature. At Blink Optometry Redondo Beach, we pride ourselves on harnessing state-of-the-art technology, which plays a crucial role in averting vision loss and enhancing overall eye health.

With our avant-garde optometric solutions, we guarantee exemplary eye care each time you visit us. This commitment ensures early detection of potential visual disturbances, warding off irreversible damage. Blink Optometry Redondo Beach is at the forefront of preserving your ocular well-being, from retinal exams and visual field tests to other comprehensive evaluations.

Topcon Retinal Camera

The Topcon Retinal Camera is a state-of-the-art instrument that creates a unique, panoramic image of your retina. This provides us with an extremely detailed view of your retina, and allows us to detect eye problems such as glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and macular degeneration. This image can also be used to detect medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Although the benefits are incredible, the Topcon Retinal test is painless, quick, and easy to complete.

Slit Lamp Microscope

The Slit Lamp Microscope is an instrument that shines a thin beam of light into the eye. It provides a magnified view of the eye in great detail, allowing for the optometrist to view the internal and external parts of your eye in great detail.

Visual Field Analysis

The Visual Field Analysis uses the OctOpus 600 by Haag-Streit to check your central vision as well your peripheral vision for signs of eye disorders. Unlike your central vision, your peripheral vision can be affected by many eye disorders without you recognizing it. Because of this, automated visual field tests are excellent for detecting vision loss before you become aware of deteriorating vision. Your pupils are not dilated for this procedure. The test takes approximately 3 minutes for each eye.

Tonometer

The tonometer is a device used to check eye pressure for the diagnosis of glaucoma. At Blink Optometry Redondo Beach, we use the latest technology, including the ICare tonometer. This new instrument allows for an easy, painless, and patient friendly method of measuring intraocular pressure. This quick, safe, and hygienic instrument allows for an accurate measurement without any drops or puff of air.
