The technology is intended to help detect the earliest signs of retinal diseases, and provide a digital record to help monitor the progression of the conditions.
“Optos 200Tx-AF® ultra-widefield imaging technology has been designed specifically for ophthalmologists and vitreoretinal specialists,” said Mark Hollingshead, MD, in the release. “The typical manual technique for examining the retina reveals only 10-12 percent of it at one time. The 200Tx-AF provides a panoramic map of more than 80 percent of the retina and gives us a new avenue of information that we haven’t had until now.”
Dr. Hollingshead opened Hollingshead Eye Center in 1994.
