 Cockrell Eyecare Center: Your Trusted Eye Care Partners

When it comes to your eye health, our team of skilled optometrists is here to guide you every step of the way. Our dedicated professionals understand that each patient is unique, and we strive to deliver personalized care tailored to your specific needs.

The Optomap Retinal Exam is one of the valuable tools our optometrists use to gain a comprehensive view of your eyes' health. Unlike traditional exams that require dilation, the Optomap technology allows us to capture an ultra-widefield image of your retina in a single scan, making the process efficient and comfortable.

A Clear Picture of Your Vision

The retina plays a critical role in your vision, serving as the "film" that captures light and sends visual signals to your brain. Regular eye exams are essential for detecting any signs of eye diseases, including those that might not have obvious symptoms.

With the Optomap Retinal Exam, we can detect and monitor eye conditions like:

  • Macular Degeneration: Early detection of macular degeneration allows us to intervene and preserve your central vision, which is critical for tasks like reading and recognizing faces.
  • Glaucoma: By closely monitoring your optic nerve and retinal health, we can detect signs of glaucoma and begin treatment promptly.
  • Diabetic Retinopathy: For patients with diabetes, the Optomap Retinal Exam helps us identify changes in the retina's blood vessels, ensuring timely management of diabetic retinopathy.

Early detection is the key to successful treatment and preservation of your vision. The Optomap technology can identify potential issues sooner, allowing for proactive care and preventing potential complications.

The Power of Advanced Technology

This technology sets us apart from traditional eye care practices. Using the optomap technology, we capture a detailed, panoramic image of your retina in seconds, providing a comprehensive view of your eye health. This enables us to detect subtle changes in your retinal structure, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

Moreover, the optomap retinal exam is non-invasive and eliminates the need for uncomfortable eye drops to dilate your pupils. This makes the exam more comfortable, reducing any inconvenience associated with traditional dilation procedures.
