Retinal Imaging Scan

The retina is the only place in the body where a clinician can look directly at your small blood vessels, without a single incision. A Retinal Imaging Scan takes advantage of that, capturing a quick, non-invasive photograph of the back of your eye that doubles as a window onto your wider health.

What It Is

Most of the body's small vessels are hidden from view. The retina is the exception. Photographing it lets clinicians assess the retinal vessels and structures directly, and the images also produce a retinal-age estimate, giving you another marker to understand and track over time. It is a uniquely accessible part of the body to image, and the scan is completely painless.

What It Measures

The scan assesses the retinal vessels and structures and generates a retinal-age estimate based on the images. It adds a distinct perspective to your Precursor profile, one that complements your bloods and other markers rather than repeating them.

What To Expect

The scan takes place in clinic and is quick and comfortable, with nothing touching your eye. You rest your chin on a support and look toward a target while a camera captures images of your retina. Most people do not need their pupils dilated for this type of imaging, and the team will tell you if anything is needed. There is no recovery time and you can carry on with your day immediately.

Your Results

Your images and retinal-age estimate appear in the Precursor app, and a clinician helps you understand them in context. If anything in the images warrants a closer look, your clinician guides you calmly on sensible next steps. The emphasis, as always, is on clarity rather than worry, and on building a picture you can follow over time.
