Retinal Fundus Photography
Retinal fundus photography is a modern, highly precise imaging technique used to capture clear, detailed pictures of the retina—the light-sensitive layer responsible for sending visual information to your brain.
At Kurwa Eye Center in Glendora, Duarte, and West Covina, CA, we use advanced fundus photography to detect early signs of eye disease, monitor existing conditions, and protect long-term vision health.
By creating a high-resolution record of your retina, our specialists can identify subtle changes long before symptoms appear.
