Frequently Asked Questions

  • Optos is an ultra-widefield retinal scan that captures up to 200° of your retina in a single image — far more than the ~15% seen with traditional methods. It's a fast, non-invasive way to look deeper into your eye health.

  • No. The scan is completely contact-free and painless. You simply look into the device while it captures the image in under a second per eye.

  • In most cases, no. Optos imaging is designed to capture a wide view of your retina without dilation, so there's no waiting and no light sensitivity afterward.

  • The capture itself is faster than a blink — under a second per eye. The full review with your optometrist takes just a few minutes as part of your comprehensive exam.

  • Ultra-widefield imaging can surface early signs of eye and systemic conditions — including retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and signs of high blood pressure — often before symptoms appear.

  • Optos imaging is part of your comprehensive OPTYX exam. Your optometrist will review the scan with you and explain everything they see.

  • For most people, once a year alongside your annual eye exam is ideal. Your optometrist may recommend more frequent imaging based on your eye health and risk factors.
