Again, we’ve upped our game to bring you the latest in eye care technology. Most of you are familiar with the Optos Retinal Exam which has enabled our doctors to pick up the earliest signs of eye disease in the back of the eye. Recently, we have upgraded to the Optos Monaco at both our locations. In addition to a wide-field image, the Monaco provides ultra-detailed multi-layer images of your macula (the most sensitive part of your retina) and optic nerve. These images help your eye doctor find problems beneath the surface before they are even visible on a conventional digital photograph.


Early detection of eye disease is one of our key objectives at MVO to help protect your vision for life. Book an eye examination and experience the latest in eye care technology.
