Daytona boost keeps Optos in the fast lane

Optos has continued to grow its number of installed Daytona devices and developed two more products capable of shrinking the cost and size of retinal imaging while improving technology.

Presenting its full year results this week, the Scottish retinal imaging company expected its new California and Lotte OCT/UWF products to be commercially available next year.

The space-saving devices helped the company further penetrate the ophthalmology market, while Daytona sales to optometry settings continued to grow.

During the 2014 financial year, Optos secured 1,536 new Daytona customers compared to 1,271 in the prior year.  Major wins include partnerships with Black & Lizars, Lenscrafters stores in the US and an agreement with Grand Vision to supply its practices in Finland and Norway.
