Advanced Retinal Imaging
We strive to provide the highest quality of care with using the latest technology. At Covina Hills Optometric Group, we offer the Advanced Retinal Imaging as part of your comprehensive eye exam with the use of both Optomap Retinal Imaging and iVue iWellness OCT screening.
The retina (tissue in the back of the eye) plays a crucial role in eye health. Not only does the retina affect vision, but the retina is important to understanding one's systemic health. With the help of Optomap and iWellness OCT screening, early detection is key.
