Optos

Optos, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of retinal imaging technology and part of Nikon Corporation, is launching its latest ultra-widefield device to the European ophthalmic market at 100% Optical, which is set to revolutionise the way eyecare professionals examine the eye. Monaco, the latest device in the Optos range is the only ultra-widefield retinal imaging system with integrated Optical Coherence Tomography. It produces a 200° single-capture optomap® image in less than ½ second but is unique as it also provides cross-sectional Optical Coherence Tomography views of retinal structures.

The device enables rapid multi-modality capture featuring colour, autofluorescence and Optical Coherence Tomography scans for both eyes in just 90 seconds. Both the optomap images and Optical Coherence Tomography scans are correlated to facilitate a more in-depth pathology exam. This means optometrists can perform a comprehensive examination on patients knowing ocular disease and potential issues are tested for. The 2-in-1 compact desk-top retinal imaging device also benefits optometrists as the device saves space in the practice compared to multi-devices and provides increased clinical information, improving overall practice efficiency.

Diopsys, Inc

For the first time, Diopsys, Inc. will be joining thousands of clinicians at 100% Optical. As the leader in office-based visual electrophysiology, the company is excited to introduce the clinical benefits of performing electroretinography (ERG) and visual evoked potential (VEP) right in the eye care practice. Diopsys provides eye care specialists with objective, functional information of the vision system to aid in the early detection of vision disorders and enhance patient management through ERG and VEP vision testing. Results from these tests are not just for rare disorders, but also for the early diagnosis and management of more common diseases like glaucoma, AMD, and diabetic retinopathy.

For instance, a study out of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute on glaucoma suspects showed that changes in pattern ERG results can be detected approximately 8 years sooner than changes in RNFL thickness as measured by OCT. The authors conclude, “This represents a substantial window for intervention before permanent loss of structure from glaucoma.” The company’s participation in 100% Optical represents a significant step forward in connecting with UK eye care professionals on both the accessibility and clinical utility of office-based visual.
