Our newest addition!

CLARUS 500 - Fundus Retinal Camera

 

Retinal Imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that takes high definition images of the interior surface of the eye including the retina, retina vasculature, optic nerve, and posterior pole (central part of retina).

The doctors of Hinton Optometry Clinic use this tool to compare images over time to detect early eye disease. They feel it is important enough to be part of a standard comprehensive eye examination.

This service is included with our standard fee, but is not covered by AHC for seniors. There is a small charge for this service to help cover costs and maintenance.
