Well, a generic picture is worth a thousand words, so a picture of the inside of my eye must be worth even more than that, right?

I got optomap photos taken at the last optometrist appointment I went to, but he didn't offer to e-mail me my photos. Shoot! I've got one interesting looking scar (at least to me) that matches a peripheral blind spot. Glad to hear your retinas are well.

Oh yes, I almost said, "I'm not trying to rub it in for people whose retinas aren't as healthy." :)

Wow, you got the originals? I had to make do with crappy phone photos. Still, very cool and I must say you have a striking retina there, woman!

They scan your eyes and customize the glasses to the contours of your eyes.

Looks like MVO does optomap too. I should go in and see if they'll do those. I'd love to see what's left of my retinas. :) Might even be worth paying for (since they make it clear on the optus site that it's not "covered.")

Yeah, insurance doesn't cover the optomap, but it's only $33 (at least at Sunnyvale Optometry), which isn't bad for such a cool (oh, yeah, and diagnostically useful) set of pictures.
