Below are comments from eye care professionals throughout North America who have partnered with Optos and are benefiting from using Optos’ technology.
"Documenting retinal health is more important than ever before. The P200® is the first piece of technology that permits a rapid, automated, non-dilated examination of nearly the entire retina. This type of technology is going to dominate retinal examinations in the future."

"The P200®C allows you to have the best of both worlds. You’re able to get out into the mid to far periphery with great image quality but you can also get wonderful image quality with great resolution in the pole. This really is ideal for a practice that it managing patients with pathology."

"The optomap® Retinal Exam provides benefits to both the patient and the practice. Among these benefits are the earlier detection of retinal pathology, reduced chair time, and reduction of patient discomfort. All of these benefits lead to a higher level of clinical care, greater patient satisfaction, greater patient retention, improved patient compliance with annual exams, and significant economic benefits for the practice and practitioner."

"The optomap® is unequalled in documenting lesions outside the central 60 degrees of the posterior pole. Vitreous pathology is easily seen due to the device's enhanced depth-of-field capabilities. This attribute allows elevated retinal lesions such as retinoschisis and detachments to be imaged in focus."
Walter Holland, M.D.
Iredell Eye Center

"The doctors in our practice, with the help of our receptionist and technicians, recommend an optomap® Retinal Exam for all of our patients appointed for comprehensive examinations and retinal evaluations. Patients are willing to pay extra for this space age diagnostic technology, especially when they realize it will save them time and provides the doctors with permanent documentation. The optomap® provides the primary care practitioner with the best retinal health screening tool available."
Bobby Christensen, O.D., F.A.A.O.

"The optomap® is patient convenient and very doctor convenient. Clinically it is a true benefit. What intrigued me most about the optomap® was the opportunity to get a larger field of view of the retina compared to conventional techniques. It's also helped connect the patients with the health aspect of the eye exam."
Scott Daly, O.D.

"When I order an FA, I want to learn something that I don’t already know. With optomap® fa, I often find something that is unexpected, making interpretation much more fun for me and more valuable for the patient. I am using the unit preferentially now for the vast majority of my studies, even for patients with AMD."
Thomas Friberg, M.D.
UPMC

"It differentiates my practice from others, giving patients a reason to choose our services over someone else's. The "WOW" factor of this technology has our patients referring other family members and friends. These are new patients to our office who would have otherwise had less of a reason to choose us over someone else for their eye care."
Thomas S Phillips, O.D.

"Implementing the P200® in to our practice has accelerated out practice in to the 21st century. It allows our doctors to provide a higher quality exam, generates a new profitable source of revenue for our practice, and our patients really appreciate our investment in their visual and ocular well being"
