About our retinal camera, Ernie

Yes, one of our pediatric patients decided to name him Ernie a few years ago. And the name has stuck ever since. Did you know that our retinal camera takes better quality images than the well-known “optomap” you may have had done in the past? It is the only retinal camera on the market that is TRUE to color and it is considered by most eye doctors to be the latest and greatest when it comes to monitoring diabetic retinopathy, epiretinal membranes, macular degeneration, and more. Dr. Neka will decide if yearly photos make sense for you or if every 2 years would be sufficient, based on your health history and several other factors.
