In our continued efforts to bring the most advanced technology available to our patients, Dr. Lizyness is proud to announce the inclusion of the Digital Ocular Photography as an integral part of your eye exam. We have the ability to take digital photos of any disease or pathology on the front of the eye and inside the eye on the retina.

Many eye problems can develop without warning and progress with no symptoms. Early on, you might not notice any change in your vision. However, diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, as well as other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can be detected with a thorough exam of the retina. The retina is the part of your eye that catches the image of what you are looking at, similar to the film in a camera.

Ocular photography allows:

• A quick photo can help detect the presence of disease.
• The opportunity for you to view and discuss the digital images of your eye with your doctor at the time of your exam.
• A permanent record for your medical file, enabling your optometrist to make important comparisons if potential problems show themselves at a future examination.
