    You sit comfortably in front of the RTA and placeyour chin on a chin rest.

    The evaluation takes only 1-2 minutes and does

    not require pupil dilation or any physical

    contact with your eye.

    A bright light is reflected into your eye while

    the RTA takes a photo and scans the back of

    your eye.

    THE The RTA is a diagnostic tool used by your eyecare practitioner to assess the health of your

    retina (the tissue in the back of your eye that

    changes light into electrical impulses) and

    optic nerve (that transmits the electrical

    impulses to the brain).

    The RTA photographs and scans the back of

    your eye and a software algorithm converts

    the information into color photos and 2 and

    3 dimensional thickness and topography maps

    of your retina and optic nerve.

    These maps help your eye care practitioner

    detect anatomical damage caused by

    diseases, affecting the retina and optic nerve,

    before symptoms occur. It also enables reliablefollow up and tracking of disease progression.
