Here is a video where a retinal melanoma was initially diagnosed using the optomap^® Retinal Exam. The optomap^® is a new generation of scanning laser ophthalmoscope that takes a series of 16 photos in 1/4 of a second and puts them together making a panoramic view of the back of a patient’s eye. The optomap^® allows us to view over 80% of the back of the eye without dilating the pupils. The optomap^® was also recently featured on the TV Show The Doctors.

The first 6 seconds of the video below is blank.
