Capture the Bigger Picture of Your Eye Health

At Hastings Optical, we believe in a comprehensive approach to eye care, which is why we offer advanced retinal photography services right here in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to capture detailed images of your retina, providing invaluable insights into your overall eye health.

What is Retinal Photography?

Retinal photography is a crucial diagnostic tool that uses high-resolution imaging technology to take pictures of the inside of your eye, focusing on the retina, blood vessels, and optic nerve. These images are fundamental in early detection and management of various eye conditions and diseases.

Why It Matters

By examining the detailed photos of your retina, our experienced optometrists can detect and monitor subtle changes in your eye health over time. This process is invaluable for identifying signs of conditions such as:

  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Glaucoma
  • Macular degeneration
  • Hypertension-related eye issues
