Retinal Evaluation Importance (With Dilated Pupils)

Your eye check is not just for glasses! In this animated video, we explain the complete process of a dilated retinal examination — how your pupil is gently opened to reveal the retina, macula, and optic nerve, and why this preventive check can save your vision. At Nanomedix Eye Care & Diabetes Centre, Kothapet, Hyderabad, we perform comprehensive dilated eye exams to detect eye diseases early — often before you notice any symptoms. Conditions Screened During Dilated Retina Exam: ✓ Diabetic Retinopathy (due to diabetes) ✓ Hypertensive Retinopathy (due to high BP) ✓ Retinal Tear, Hole & Retinal Detachment (emergency) ✓ Diabetic Macular Edema (swelling at center) ✓ Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) ✓ Optic Nerve Damage & Glaucoma changes ✓ Vitreous Degeneration & Lattice Who Must Get Yearly Dilated Exam?
