Alvernon Optical - Casas Adobes recommends optomap retinal imaging as part of your comprehensive eye exam.

We are thrilled to provide optomap to our patients in Alvernon Optical - Casas Adobes! By adding optomap to your comprehensive eye exam, you are facilitating better eye health for you and your loved ones.

What is optomap Retinal Imaging?

Your retina (located in the back of your eye) is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen directly. This means that in addition to eye conditions, signs of other diseases (for example, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes) can also be seen in the retina. Early signs of these conditions can show on your retina long before you notice any changes to your vision or feel pain. While eye exams generally include a look at the front of the eye to evaluate health and prescription changes, a thorough screening of the retina is critical to verify that your eye is healthy. Early detection means successful treatments can be administered and reduces the risk to your sight and health.

Getting an optomap image is fast, painless, and comfortable. Nothing touches your eye at any time. It is suitable for the whole family. To have the exam, you simply look into the device one eye at a time (like looking through a keyhole) and you will see a flash of light to let you know the image of your retina has been taken. The image capture takes less than half a second and you can view it with your eye care provider.

optomap is a cutting-edge retinal imaging technology that provides a 200-degree view of the retina and unlike traditional eye exams, where your doctor can only view a small portion of the retina at a time, this larger, single-capture view enables your eye care professional to detect, diagnose, and treat eye conditions and diseases at the earliest stages.

optomap imaging technology is setting a new standard for preventive eye health measures.

Early Detection of Eye Conditions

With its expansive view, optomap imaging can identify signs of eye diseases such as nevi “eye freckles”, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration more easily.

Part of your Medical Health Record

Unlike traditional retinal exams, optomap can be saved to your medical record for future comparisons.

Protection even with no visual complaints

Recent studies have shown that doctors who use optomap imaging, are seeing retinal pathology 97% of the time in patients who have no vision complaints.


4 Reasons to Add optomap to Your Comprehensive Eye Exam

  • Comprehensive Health Insights

    Beyond eye health, this type of imaging can reveal indicators of systemic diseases, including potential risks for stroke and cardiovascular disease, offering a window into your overall well-being.

  • Efficiency and Comfort

    The eye exam is quick, painless, and comfortable for patients of all ages. optomap is complementary to dilation, and your eye care provider will determine if you require both.

  • A Foundation for Preventative Care

    The optomap retinal imaging device is crucial in preventative health care by facilitating early detection of both ocular and systemic conditions. Helping to safeguard not just your vision but your overall eye health.

  • A Key Component of Comprehensive Eye Care

    Incorporating the optomap device into our practice is part of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest standard of eye care. This technology complements our range of services, from routine eye exams to more in-depth care, ensuring you receive a thorough and accurate eye health assessment.

Getting your eyes checked regularly is important for maintaining good eye health. optomap imaging can help detect potential eye problems early on and give you a more informed understanding of your eye health. So, whether you're experiencing symptoms or just due for your regular eye checkup, make an appointment for the optomap eye exam.

Dr. Schulte is the best!!
- Jun. 13, 2025
I came here from another Alvernon Optical in the center of town. Dr. Schulte was amazing! She expla... ined all the different complications that eyes can have and what we were looking for. She was very personable and thorough. I'm just getting eyeglasses, but I want to ensure I keep my vision for the rest of my life, and I feel comfortable and trusting that this place will help me do that. I also worked with Vince, who was nothing short of amazing!! He was patient with me while we looked for some frames I liked that were in my budget. He made some suggestions, and overall, he had a friendly, professional demeanor. I definitely recommend this place for your general optometry needs.

Dr. SCHULTE is an expert in treating "lazy eye" syndrome and the application and use of prisms. She ... is very thorough in her explanations of testing and procedures and a great teacher. The office technicians are extremely well-trained and professional. The entire office staff, as well as the doctor herself, are very kind, helpful, and fun---a rare combination of expertise, proficiency, professionalism, and fun. In my opinion, the best in Tucson!

Dr Schulte was wonderful, caring and warm. She took time to explain and educate me, and really liste... ned to what I had to share about my lifestyle and how to incorporate that into my eye care.

I have been going to Dr. Schulte for over 25 years. She is excellent at helping her patients. The s... taff are very helpful and professional. The previous time when I purchased glasses, I received cleaning products for my new glasses. This time, I had to purchase insurance to receive the cleaning solutions for glasses and contacts. Thank you.

Great staff

Great eye doc (Carole Schulte) who listened to you. Had a prior bad experience elsewhere where I co... uldn’t see l the best and prescribed the wrong prescription & dr wouldn’t change it. So I waited a year and went here. She helped me get back to seeing 20/20. Staff is nice as well.
- Aug. 26, 2024
Seeing negative reviews for this place on some websites and maps made me a little weary but I honest... ly don’t know what those people had problems with, this was easily the best experience I’d ever had with getting my eyes tested and picking out glasses. The whole staff was incredibly nice and helpful, never had to wait more than a few minutes during any parts of the process, from picking out frames to finding the right lens type. Whole process just clicked so well, I was in and out quickly and very satisfied. They also had my contacts and frames ready for pickup just a week after coming in. Best experience I could’ve hoped for.
