Ultra-wide field retinal imaging (UWFI) offers an advanced look at your retinal health, capturing up to 200 degrees in one scan for early detection of serious eye conditions.
Ultra-wide field retinal imaging (UWFI) is a cutting-edge method that provides our eye doctors with a remarkably detailed look at your retina. This imaging technology expands the view from the narrow angle of traditional methods to up to 200 degrees, capturing more than 80% of your retinal surface in a single scan. By revealing the peripheral regions, UWFI plays a key role in early detection and ongoing monitoring of several serious eye conditions.
When you come in for an exam, imagine switching from using a narrow flashlight beam to a broad floodlight. That is exactly the kind of clarity UWFI offers, letting our eye doctors see even the subtle signs of diseases before they become a threat to your vision.
Ultra-wide field retinal imaging is an advanced technique that dramatically increases the amount of retinal detail we can capture in one image. Traditional fundus imaging typically records only 30 to 50 degrees of your retina. In contrast, UWFI can cover up to 200 degrees, meaning that we get a complete and fuller picture of your eye’s health in one quick and comfortable session.
This expansive view is vital because many retinal conditions begin at the outer edges—areas often missed by conventional methods. By inspecting these peripheral regions, our eye doctors can detect early signs of diseases like diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and hypertensive damage, ensuring that issues are addressed before they escalate.
Your retina, a delicate layer at the back of your eye, holds essential clues about your overall eye health. The outer regions, or the periphery, are where many potentially serious conditions first appear. Here’s why a wider view matters:
In a nutshell, a more complete picture of the retina means a better chance of keeping your vision clear and healthy.
