Boots Opticians takes a wider view with Optomap roll out

Boots Opticians held an event on January 21 at Sea Containers House in London to mark the launch of Optomap retinal photography into more than 100 of its UK practices.

At the event, attendees were able to undergo an Optomap scan via the Optos California device and had the opportunity to speak with healthcare experts including Dr Philippa Kaye.

When the roll out is complete, 120 Boots Opticians practices with the California device will be able to offer an Ultimate Eye Test that comprises an Optomap scan, OCT scan and eye test.

Optomap allows eye care professionals to capture 82% of the retina in a single image, a figure that rises to 97% when images are montaged together.
