maggie Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 A few days ago I explained my having problems with my eye exam. I was talking about this with my sister and she gave me this information. There is a new procedure out that gives you an eye exam without dilation of your eyes. Anyone who is interested in this can go to the web site www.optos.com/us/ and read about it. Hope this helps some of you who as I can't handle the procedure.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggie Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just got off the phone with a dr that does this type of testing and discovered that in the state of FL where I live you have to have at least had your eyes dilated once. It seems as soon as I find an answer to my problem, it just brings on another. I called another dr who does the test and said that if my neuro would fax him over the reasons why the dilation didn't go well they would perform the test. Through researching this more I found out this mapping of your eye isn't as good as dilation, but if I can't get my eyes even dilated it's better then nothing. Just thought I let you chat members know the update on this procedure. The laws maybe different in each state.Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafiki Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just had this done today! The doctor spent a lot of time explaining everything as he showed me the picture of the eye. It was really nice not to be dilated! This was done in Alabama.Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
