A specialized digital camera takes pictures of the retina, most of the time without requiring the dilatation of the pupils.
These photos are examined by a team of opthtalmologist doctors led by an ophtalmologist specialized in retina.
A detailed report is sent to your doctor. This ensures the best service possible and that you are seen by a doctor at the appropriate time if necessary.
The insurance plans cover most of the screening costs for diabetic retinopathy.
