The world's most advanced handheld retinal camera* and a breakthrough in patient-centered retinal imaging technology made for primary care.
50% of diabetic patients or less comply with annual retinal exams6-9
80% of patients will eventually develop some stage of diabetic retinopathy9
Achieve up to 90% diabetic retinal exam compliance in 12 months3
…By allowing this test to be covered in my office and other primary care settings, we are making access to recommended annual diabetic eye exams more convenient for patients and thereby saving patients’ vision.
Not only is this technology unquestionably effective, it is relatively straightforward to incorporate into the regular diabetic office visit and presents an ideal opportunity to discuss eye health with the patient. We have expanded the program from one clinic to all four of our clinics in the last few months.”
