A standard sight test typically allows your optometrist to examine around 10-15% of your retina at one time.

With an Optomap retinal scan, a single ultra-widefield image captures up to 200° of your retina - that’s around 80% of the retinal surface in one image.

✨ Why does this matter?

✔️ A much wider view of the retina without the need for dilating drops in most cases.
✔️ Helps your optometrist detect signs of eye conditions that may develop in the far peripheral retina, where changes can otherwise be harder to spot.
✔️ Creates a high-resolution digital image that can be stored and compared over time, making it easier to monitor even subtle changes to your eye health.

Your eyesight is only part of the picture. A healthy retina is essential for healthy vision, and an Optomap scan provides valuable additional information alongside your comprehensive eye examination.

Ask about adding an Optomap scan at your next appointment and give your eyes the most thorough check possible.

☀️ Your summer style isn’t complete without proper UV protection. Sunglasses do more than make a statement - they help shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of long-term damage while keeping you comfortable in the sunshine.

This summer, choose eyewear that combines fashion with essential protection. Visit Boatmans Optical to find sunglasses that look great and help keep your eyes safe all season long.
