Revolutionary 3D screening at Alex Gage, Sheffield

I’m delighted with the new camera – it cost a lot of money but it’s so versatile – we will now be able to take both a digital photo and a 3D cross sectional scan of the back of the eye at the same time. The 3D scan is also linked to a photograph of the back of the eye so if we see something on the photo then we can go to the related point in the scan and vice versa.

The scan is quick and painless, but it allows us to check for potentially serious conditions including Age Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetes and Glaucoma that we might not otherwise be able to detect during a standard eye examination.
