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.

OCT is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of your retina, helping detect early signs of eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Why Get an OCT Scan?

  • Early Detection – Identifies issues before symptoms appear.
  • Essential for At-Risk Patients – Recommended for those over 25 or with a history of eye disease, diabetes, or glaucoma.

What to Expect

  • Quick & Painless – Takes less than 10 minutes.
