S3 Scanner
  
Only a few medical offices in Alberta offer the S3 Scanner, and Wink Optometry is proud to be one of the very select few!






What is an S3 Scanner?
The patented Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is a cutting edge testing tool that non-invasively measures carotenoid levels in living tissue, providing an immediate indication of a person's overall antioxidant levels in your body. 

The scanner  works by measuring carotenoid levels in human tissue at the skin surface using optical signals, ie blue light. These signals identify the unique molecular structure of carotenoids. By placing the palm of your hand infront of the scanner's safe, low energy blue light, you will get a reading of the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin, giving you your Skin Carotenoid Scores (SCS)

Why is this score important? 
This score gives us an overview of your bodies antioxidant levels. In less than one minute, roughly 30 seconds, we can find out if your diet, lifestyle and supplements are providing the protection you need for optimal health. People say that your "eyes are the window to your soul" but they are also "the window to your health".  Many eye conditions and diseases are directly correlated to your bodies overall health.
