Our Technology
The Optomap exam stands out for its ability to provide a comprehensive and thorough examination of the eye’s health, particularly the retina, in a way that is both patient-friendly and efficient. It’s a fast, painless, and comfortable process that remarkably does not require contact with the eye, making it ideal for patients of all ages. Additionally, the non-invasive nature of the Optomap exam, potentially without the need for dilation drops, enhances patient comfort and convenience, promoting more regular eye health checks
An Optomap exam can timely identify a detached retina, allowing for effective treatment. Opt for a cutting-edge examination and protect your vision.
Fort Collins is Our Home
At Poudre Valley Eyecare, our tenured practice runs generations deep. Dr. Michael Torgerson founded PVE over three decades ago in 1991 alongside his wife, Joy. Years later, the two were joined by their son, Eric, after he completed his professional optometry training. Since then, our practice has grown with the additions of Dr. Christine Shukis, Dr. Kyle Kram, and several other dedicated team members.
