Microvascular Health Assessment
Did you know that your eyes are the only organ in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly without invasive procedures? As many vascular problems can lead to changes in the blood vessels in the retina of your eyes, retinal assessments can also predict how healthy your heart is overall. The Microvascular Health Assessment (MHA) helps to understand whether you are at risk of developing a cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the next 5 years.
MHA uses artificial intelligence technology to assess retinal images that are captured during a routine eye examination. The technology analyses retinal blood vessels and nerves to produce a rating that reflects the risk of developing CVD over the next 5 years.
MHA is now able to track CVD risk over time, allowing you to understand more about your health journey.
Early detection of health problems can make a huge difference to your future wellbeing. If a health problem is detected, you can discuss your report further with your Optometrist or a trusted medical professional.
