At Luxe Eye and Wellness, we use advanced digital retinal imaging to evaluate the health of your eyes without the need for traditional dilation drops. Our optometry office in Old Town Alexandria offers Optomap wide angle retinal imaging, which captures a detailed view of the retina in seconds. This technology allows our doctors to screen for retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears while minimizing discomfort and avoiding the side effects of dilation. The imaging process lets patients see the back of their eyes just as the doctor does and is safe for children, adults, and pregnant patients seeking comprehensive eye exams in Alexandria VA.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non invasive imaging technology that captures detailed cross sectional images of the retina, allowing for early detection and monitoring of eye conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. At Luxe Eye and Wellness in Old Town Alexandria, OCT imaging helps our optometrist track changes in retinal health over time and recommend timely treatment when needed. This advanced diagnostic tool supports proactive eye care for patients seeking comprehensive eye exams and retinal imaging in Alexandria VA.

Electroretinography measures the electrical responses of your retina to light stimuli, providing essential data for diagnosing and monitoring diabetic retinopathy, Glaucoma, and other optic nerve disorders. The electroretinogram (ERG) is to the retina and the electrocardiogram (ECG) is to the heart. Just as an ECG is crucial to diagnosing illness and monitoring the heart’s function, ERG plays a critical role in the care of the eye and is instrumental in the early detection of retinal dysfunction. Determining and monitoring early on will result in tailoring the best treatment possible for your specific needs.
