Question Optomap for eye exam:
I told my doctor that I didn't get my yearly eye exam yet because I don't like getting my eyes dilated. And he reminded me that I could get ultra-wide digital retinal-imaging. It captures about 80% of the retina in one panoramic image. Then it can be part of my record so that next year it can be used for comparison.

I got some information on it and it "typically does not require dilation". But the information also states: "However, for care reasons, dilation may still be required." I don't know what they mean by that.

Just wondering what your experience has been, if you have had it.
