An LKC retinal evaluation is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that provides a comprehensive assessment of retinal health. This non-invasive test uses advanced imaging technology to capture detailed images of the retina, allowing optometrists and ophthalmologists to detect early signs of serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and other retinal disorders.

The evaluation process involves the use of a specialized device, a visual electroretinogram (ERG), which measures the electrical responses of the retina to light stimuli. This helps in identifying any functional abnormalities in the retina that might not be visible through standard eye exams. By evaluating the retina’s health at a cellular level, LKC retinal evaluations can detect disease even before symptoms appear, enabling earlier diagnosis and treatment.

For patients with diabetes, an LKC retinal evaluation is particularly important, as it can identify diabetic retinopathy in its earliest stages, preventing vision loss through timely intervention. The test is quick, painless, and provides immediate results, helping Dr Kyser develop personalized treatment plans to preserve vision.
