What Is Retinal Imaging and What Do You Get for $39 at iDoctor?
Retinal imaging is a non-invasive test that takes high-definition images of the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye that is crucial for clear vision. Using the Daytona Optos system, iDoctor in Glendale Heights captures a 200° ultra-widefield view of each retina in less than half a second. Unlike older technologies, this method rarely requires dilation, so you can return to your day without hassle or downtime.
This $39 service includes:
- Ultra-widefield, high-resolution images reviewed together with Dr. Saher Sayed
- Spotting over 20 potential conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinal tears, and more
- Baseline scans saved for future monitoring, making it easy to see subtle changes year-to-year
- Seamless integration into a comprehensive eye exam that also may use digital phoropters and gentle tonometry

FAQs: Retinal Imaging in Glendale Heights
How much does retinal imaging cost at iDoctor?
Retinal imaging is $39 at iDoctor in Glendale Heights. This fee is separate from your eye exam, but adds value by allowing early detection of hidden retinal diseases without requiring dilation in most cases.
Is retinal imaging covered by insurance?
Most vision insurance policies do not cover retinal imaging, since it is considered an advanced, elective diagnostic. Your exam, frames, and lenses are often covered; imaging is a transparent, self-pay add-on. Our team will help you understand your benefits and options.
When is retinal imaging most useful?
This scan is highly recommended for adults over 40, anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye problems. Symptoms such as flashes, floaters, or unexplained vision changes are also strong reasons for a scan.
How long does retinal imaging take?
Each scan is completed in under 0.4 seconds per eye. Images appear instantly, allowing us to involve you in your care with immediate feedback on your retinal health.
Can I book same-day imaging?
Yes! iDoctor offers same-day and next-day appointments, making it easy for patients from Carol Stream, Addison, and beyond to access retinal imaging quickly, even on short notice.
