RUSSELL – Russell Eyecare Center in Russell offers the latest technology available for retinal imaging, known as Optomap. This ultra-wide retinal imaging captures over 80% of the eye, whereas traditional imaging allows for only a 15% view. By looking at your retina, doctors can see signs of disease including stroke, diabetes, and some cancers, making Optomap a great tool for prevention when used at annual eye exams.

“We are thrilled to offer this new imaging technology to our patients,” said Dr. Chad Premer of Russell Eyecare Center. “Early detection of diseases and conditions is a vital part of care to our patients. Additionally, Optomap is safe for adults and children and allows our team to have a more robust view of what’s happening with our patients’ eyes, compared to traditional methods.”

All patients at Russell Eyecare Center are given the option to have Optomap images captured during their examination appointment in place of traditional imaging, he said.

The clinic is open five days per week, and office hours are published on their website at www.russelleyecarecenter.com.
