Pictor Plus provides imaging on the move

The Volk Pictor is a portable digital imaging device that has been around in UK optometry for some years now and has been taken up by practitioners requiring an imaging system able to operate in confined practice spaces and in domiciliary examinations. I first tried the Pictor some years back (Optician 11.11.11) and found it took a good deal of practice to achieve adequately clear images. Even then the images were of somewhat restricted field and the absence of any fixation point for the patient was a drawback. Furthermore, for a portable unit, the need for a USB feed for image transfer also prove a restriction.
