Retinal Screening in Rancho Cucamonga

Retinal Screening in Rancho Cucamonga — See What's Happening Inside Your Eyes

A retinal screening in Rancho Cucamonga at Opticore Eye Group gives your doctor a detailed, high-resolution view of the structures at the back of your eye — the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels — that can't be assessed with a standard vision check. Many of the most serious eye diseases, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, originate in the retina and show their earliest signs there. Catching these changes before they affect your vision gives you the best possible chance of protecting your sight long-term.

What We're Looking For

A retinal screening at Opticore can detect early signs of:

Glaucoma — changes to the optic nerve before vision loss begins

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — drusen deposits and pigment changes in the macula

Diabetic retinopathy — blood vessel leakage or growth from uncontrolled blood sugar

Hypertensive retinopathy — retinal changes linked to high blood pressure

Retinal tears or detachment — urgent findings that require prompt treatment

Macular holes or epiretinal membranes — structural changes that can affect central vision

What to Expect During Retinal Screening

Retinal screenings at our Rancho Cucamonga office are non-invasive and typically take only a few minutes. Depending on the technology used, your pupils may or may not need to be dilated. Our doctors use advanced retinal imaging — including digital fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) — to capture detailed images that are reviewed in real time and stored for comparison at future visits. You'll see the images and hear a clear explanation of what your doctor finds.

Who Should Get a Retinal Screening & How to Book

Retinal screenings are recommended as a routine part of comprehensive eye exams, and are especially important if you're over 40, have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of retinal disease, or if you've noticed new floaters or flashes of light. Coverage depends on your insurance plan — vision plans often cover screening as part of your annual exam, while medical insurance may apply if a specific diagnosis is being monitored.
