Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. At Retina Consultants of Hawaii, we use advanced diagnostic testing to detect and monitor retinal diseases with precision.
Diagnostic tests are specialized tools that provide detailed images and measurements of the retina. These tests go beyond a routine eye exam, helping detect diseases early and guide personalized treatment plans.
Because many retinal diseases begin without noticeable symptoms, diagnostic testing is essential to:
Some of the diagnostic tests we use include:
Produces detailed cross-sectional images of the retina.
Highlights blood flow and identifies leaks or blockages.
Captures color images to track changes over time.
Used when the view of the retina is blocked.
Evaluates peripheral vision and functional vision loss.
Most tests are painless, non-invasive, and performed in-office. Depending on the test, your eyes may be dilated, which can cause temporary light sensitivity. The process typically takes 15–45 minutes, and results are reviewed with you during your visit.
If your eye doctor suspects a retinal condition, they may refer you for specialized diagnostic testing with our team. Test results allow us to create the most accurate diagnosis and recommend the right treatment plan for your needs.
