The distant present and future

Optos says that over the past 12 months, its ultra-widefield imaging has come into its own due to the speed, efficiency, comfort and safety offered by its optomap technology, which is used across the company’s various imaging devices. In less than half a second, optomap captures 200º or 82% of the retina in a single shot. This can be done through pupils as small as 2mm, which allows optometrists to determine when dilation is needed. All devices image with no close-up face-to-face interactions, as the operator, be it front house staff or clinicians, control all adjustments at a distance with a hand controller or tablet. The images can also be reviewed remotely, if required. According to Optos, the integration of optomap to produce more clinically relevant information, more rapidly and in a more patient friendly manner, can make important contributions to multiple aspects of the current efficiency and safety challenge.
