What about your
retina age?
Your chronological age counts the years. Retina age is an AI estimate of how old your retina appears, based on patterns in a photograph of the back of your eye.
The difference is called the retinal age gap. Research is exploring what it may reveal about ageing and health risk. It is a starting point for a conversation, interpreted alongside your medical history and established health checks.

A younger appearing retina is an observation to discuss in clinical context. It does not rule out disease.
Explore the concept using the slider. These are fictional values, not a test or assessment. A real estimate requires suitable imaging and a validated model; availability is subject to clinical validation.

behind the scan.
Explore the steps that turn a retinal photograph into information a clinician can interpret.
First, a usable image.
Focus, lighting and retinal coverage are checked. If the image is not suitable, a repeat capture or a different assessment may be needed.

To a clearer way forward.
The ONEMED approach starts with scans, then connects findings to the right clinical conversation.
Make the image useful.
Images are checked for focus and coverage. Suitable images enter the relevant analysis pathway; poor quality images may need to be retaken.
Put insight in context.
Clinical review considers retinal findings alongside your history. Any AI output supports interpretation within its validated scope.
Find your next step.
A clear explanation helps distinguish routine follow up from findings that need further assessment or referral.
Build the longer view.
Your clinician advises when to repeat imaging and which established health measures to monitor between visits.
01 / Your starting point
Before imaging, discuss relevant history and understand consent, the scan’s scope and how results will be explained. Select a stage above to explore.

your vascular world.
The retina is light sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. Its visible blood vessels give clinicians an opportunity to examine changes that may matter for eye health.
Retinal imaging can complement broader care. It does not replace blood tests, blood pressure checks or a comprehensive eye examination.

A number is a starting point.
Your daily life is the journey.
Living according to retina age means using insight to ask better questions and agree meaningful priorities with your clinician.
Nourish consistently.
Build a balanced eating pattern around your health needs. If you have diabetes or other conditions, agree dietary changes with your care team.
Move with purpose.
Choose regular activity suited to your fitness and medical history. A safe, sustainable routine matters more than chasing a score.
Protect your baseline.
Keep up with blood pressure and glucose checks, prescribed treatment and eye care appointments. Discuss tobacco use and sleep with your clinician.
Review what matters.
Track established health measures and follow up recommendations. Repeat retinal imaging at a clinically appropriate interval.

Read the retinal age studyIs retina age the same as biological age?
No. It is a model derived estimate from retinal images. It is being studied as a potential ageing biomarker, rather than a complete measure of your body's age. Results depend on the model, image quality and population.
Can a scan predict how long I will live?
No. Research has found population level associations between retinal age gap and mortality. These associations do not predict an individual's lifespan or prove that changing the score changes outcomes.
Can imaging support early detection?
Retinal assessment can help identify signs of eye disease, including diabetic retinopathy, which may have no early symptoms. The camera, imaging protocol and clinical review determine what can be assessed. A scan cannot exclude every condition.
What is ONEMED starting with?
ONEMED's initial focus is retinal scanning and the pathway from imaging to clinical interpretation and appropriate follow up. Retina age reporting requires a clinically suitable, validated service. Broader ecosystem features are future development, not current services.
How should I act on a result?
Discuss it with a qualified clinician. Do not change medicines or start supplements based on an age estimate. Sudden vision loss, a curtain over your vision or new flashes and floaters need urgent eye assessment.
