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.

Visual Field Testing: Essential for Eye Health

Visual field testing, or perimetry, measures your full scope of vision, including peripheral sight. It is a key tool in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, retinal diseases, optic nerve damage, and conditions affecting the brain’s visual pathways.

Who Should Get Tested?

This test is crucial for individuals at risk of vision loss due to:

  • Glaucoma
  • Diabetes & High Blood Pressure
  • Multiple Sclerosis & Stroke
  • Pituitary & Thyroid Disorders

What to Expect

  • Non-invasive & Painless – No dilation needed.
  • Automated or Kinetic Testing – Measures response to light stimuli.
  • Digital Results – Sent directly to your eye doctor for analysis.
