State-of-the-art Device
Optos optomap Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging
Strawn & Co. Optometry is the only provider in West Kelowna with an Optos optomap, and one of just a few in the BC interior to offer the advanced Optos optomap Monaco. This state-of-the-art device not only captures detailed wide-field images of the retina, but also provides cross-sectional views (OCT) allowing us to examine the layers for potential diseases. Without an optomap, the only alternative for visualizing the peripheral retina is through pupil dilation. If your optometrist does not offer either of these options, the health of your peripheral retina and the possibility of ocular disease may go undetected.
Optos technology is included in all routine examinations at Strawn & Co. Optometry, at no additional cost.

Advanced Technology
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
An OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a non-invasive imaging test that works like an ultrasound, but it uses light instead of sound to create detailed, cross-section images of the eye. While most OCT devices are limited to capturing cross-sections of the retina, the REVO80 can provide detailed cross-sectional images of all areas of the eye, including the cornea and anterior chamber.
OCT technology not only enhances the ability to detect and monitor various eye conditions but also facilitates early intervention, which can be crucial in preventing vision loss.

3d Map of your eye
Corneal Topography
Corneal topography involves mapping the surface shape of the cornea, or front of the eye. Think of it like a 3D map, showing hills and valleys. It helps determine if your cornea is perfectly curved or if it has irregularities, which can affect your vision. It is especially useful for diagnosing conditions like keratoconus, fitting contact lenses, and planning for surgeries like LASIK.

Virtual Reality + Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Visual Field Testing
Retinalogik is a Canadian health tech company revolutionizing visual field testing by combining virtual reality and artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in the detection, monitoring and management of ocular disease. Visual field testing is involves mapping out the sensitivity of your central and peripheral vision and identifying blind spots or vision loss that you might not notice yourself. This test is especially important for conditions like glaucoma, stroke related vision problems or neurological issues.
