iWellness Scan: Advanced Eye Health Screening
At Eye Q Optometrist, we prioritize your vision and eye health with cutting-edge diagnostic technology. Our iWellness scan is a non-invasive, high-resolution imaging tool that allows us to detect early signs of eye disease—often before symptoms appear.
This makes it simple for us to closely monitor your eye health, helping to prevent vision loss through early intervention.
What is the iWellness Scan?
The iWellness scan uses Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your retina and optic nerve. This advanced imaging technology allows us to visualize layers of the retina in great detail so we can identify even the smallest abnormalities that usually aren't visible during a standard eye exam.
Unlike traditional and outdated screening methods, the iWellness scan is quick, painless, and does not require dilation in most cases. This makes it an ideal choice for patients of all ages.

What Does the iWellness Scan Detect?
The iWellness scan is a powerful tool for identifying and monitoring a wide range of eye conditions, including:
- Glaucoma: It detects changes in the optic nerve that may indicate early signs of glaucoma.
- Macular Degeneration: Allows identification of retinal changes associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- Diabetic Retinopathy: iWellness is used during diabetic retinopathy screenings to detect damage to the retina caused by diabetes.
- Retinal Detachments: Easily reveals abnormalities in the retinal layers that could lead to detachment.
- Vitreous Disorders: Assesses conditions like macular holes or epiretinal membranes.
Why is this Screening Tool Important?
Many eye diseases develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. By the time you notice any vision changes, permanent damage may have already occurred to your eyesight. The iWellness scan provides an early warning system, enabling us to take proactive steps to protect your vision.
With regular iWellness scans, we can:
- Detect eye diseases early for more effective treatment.
- Monitor changes in your eye health over time.
- Provide peace of mind with a comprehensive understanding of your eye health.
What to Expect During an iWellness Scan
The iWellness scan is a simple, non-invasive procedure that takes just a few minutes.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: You’ll sit comfortably while the OCT device scans your eyes.
- Scanning: The device uses light waves to capture detailed images of your retina and optic nerve.
