UNDERSTAND YOUR EYE HEALTH
Diagnostic testing helps your doctor investigate an eye health concern and decide on follow-up. Available evaluations include OCT imaging, visual field testing, and tear function assessment when appropriate.

INFORMED, PERSONAL CARE
Available testing includes optical coherence tomography (OCT), which captures detailed images of retinal structures, and visual field testing to evaluate peripheral vision. The practice also evaluates tear function for dry-eye concerns.
Testing is selected for the clinical question. OCT provides detailed images of retinal structures, while visual field testing evaluates peripheral vision. Your doctor can explain what a test is intended to assess and how the findings relate to your care.
Tell the team about diabetes, glaucoma, previous eye surgery, and any ongoing care with another doctor. Earlier test results can be useful for comparison when available. Do not delay urgent evaluation while collecting records.
Your doctor will recommend tests based on your needs and explain the findings. Bring information about existing eye conditions and relevant medical history.
Your first-visit checklistINFORMATION THAT GUIDES YOUR CARE
Different tests reveal different details. Your doctor selects the testing that fits your needs and explains what the findings mean for your care.
Retinal imaging and OCT offer complementary views. A retinal image shows the back of the eye, while OCT shows cross-sections of its structures. Your doctor interprets the results together with your examination.
Optos California
Ultra-widefield imaging captures a broad view of the back of the eye, helping your doctor examine and document retinal health.
Your doctor reviews the images alongside your exam findings and decides whether dilation or additional testing is needed.

OCT uses light to create detailed cross-sectional images of retinal structures, adding information beyond a surface image of the retina.
These images support assessment of the retina and optic nerve and can help your doctor compare findings over time.
