How Our Advanced Fundus Camera Works

We use a Fundus Camera as a non-invasive way to examine the health of your eyes. This cutting-edge technology captures high-resolution images of your retina, helping us detect any irregularities or underlying issues without the immediate need for dilation. Take advantage of our Dilation Free Exam with the most modern equipment with no blurry vision. If concerns are identified during the exam, further investigation may require dilation for a closer look. Our approach ensures you receive the most comfortable and effective care possible.

The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are vital for maintaining optimal eye health and detecting potential issues early. At South Philly Optical, we ensure your vision and overall eye health are in top shape through detailed evaluations, including:

Eye pressure testing for glaucoma.
Retinal imaging to check for underlying conditions.
Vision correction prescriptions tailored to your needs.
Dry Eye Assessments: Evaluations to identify and treat symptoms of dry eye syndrome for enhanced comfort.
Macular Degeneration Screenings: Early detection of age-related macular degeneration to preserve central vision.
And many more evaluations...
