Optomap is a quick, non-invasive eye scan that allows optometrists to capture 82% of the retina in a single image, which grows to 97% when montaged. Previously traditional retinal scans could only capture 15% of the retina. The technology will be available in more than 120 stores.

Kyle Rowe, managing director at Boots Opticians said: ‘This innovative technology not only gives patients a more detailed eye exam compared to traditional eye tests, but it can give a more accurate picture of their health, detecting early signs of many serious health conditions.

‘This is transformative in terms of empowering patients to be able to make more informed decisions about their overall health.'
