The Optos California

One scan. 200 degrees.
82% of your retina in a single image.

Ultra-widefield imaging captures a detailed digital photograph of the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye — in a single pass.

This is your retina.

River-delta blood vessels branching across an amber field — the exact landscape our cameras photograph, every exam.

Optical Coherence Tomography

Then it opens
into its layers.

The Layers · OCT

An "optical ultrasound" that sees each layer of the retina.

Many eye diseases begin with subtle changes that aren't visible in a standard photograph. A cross-sectional, layered view catches them early:

Glaucoma

Subtle nerve-layer changes appear here long before they'd show in a standard exam.

Macular Degeneration

Cross-sectional imaging measures the tissue thickness that flags early degeneration.

Diabetic Eye Changes

Fluid and structural shifts inside the retinal layers are caught at their earliest stage.

Optometrist

Dr. Nibal Elsaghir

Dr. Elsaghir was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta. She completed her undergraduate studies in Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary before earning early acceptance into the Pacific University College of Optometry in Forest Grove, Oregon. In 2013, she graduated with a Doctor of Optometry degree and a Bachelor of Vision Science.

During her optometric training, Dr. Elsaghir completed a six-month externship at the prestigious Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, Florida, where she gained extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease. A meaningful highlight of her education was participating in international outreach initiatives in El Salvador and Belize, delivering essential eye care to underserved communities.

In clinical practice, Dr. Elsaghir enjoys caring for patients of all ages, with particular interests in pediatric optometry and ocular disease management. She is committed to thorough, comprehensive eye examinations and ensuring her patients are well-informed about their ocular health. She is fluent in Arabic and can also conduct eye examinations in basic Spanish.

In her free time, Dr. Elsaghir enjoys spending quality time with her family, exploring new culinary experiences, and keeping up with her two young children. With 13 years of experience in the optical field, she is proud to provide quality comprehensive eye care for patients of all ages — and is currently accepting new patients.

Technology

Advanced imaging, in plain language.

Optos California

200° of your retina in a single scan.

Ultra-widefield imaging takes a detailed digital photograph of the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. Where traditional cameras capture only a small portion, the Optos captures up to 200 degrees — about 82% of the retina — in one image.

OCT · Optical Coherence Tomography

An "optical ultrasound" of every retinal layer.

OCT captures a cross-sectional view that lets us see each layer of the retina and measure tissue thickness — catching subtle early changes from glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease before they'd appear on a standard photograph.

iCare Tonometer

Eye pressure.
No puff. Ever.

A modern device that measures your intraocular pressure — an important part of screening for glaucoma — without the dreaded air puff.

Retinalogik Virtual Visual Field

Your peripheral vision test is now a VR headset.

An advanced, headset-based test that maps your side vision to detect and monitor glaucoma and other conditions — more comfortable and efficient than traditional machines.

Meibography · Dry Eye

Imaging the oil glands behind healthy, comfortable tears.

We picture the meibomian glands along your eyelids so we can diagnose and manage dry eye and gland dysfunction early — long before it becomes uncomfortable.
