Clinical Outcomes

 
Key Results:

optomap color images altered management in 19%, optomap fa an additional 13% (6 of 43), combined color and optomap fa altered management in a total of 48% (21 of 43 patients) overall. Disease activity was detected in 63% (27 of 43) patients when using ultra-widefield imaging when compared with 51% (22 of 43) based on examination and simulated conventional FA.  

Key Results:

optomap had perfect agreement with the long-standing ETDRS gold standard.

Key Results:

Eyes with predominantly peripheral lesions (defined as outside of ETDRS 7 standard field) had a 4.7 fold increased risk of progression to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and Eyes with predominantly peripheral lesions had a 3.2 fold risk of 2 step progression in DR.

Key Results:

Ultra-widefield steering-based SD-OCT imaging of the retinal periphery is feasible with current commercially available devices and provides detailed anatomic information of the peripheral retina, including benign and pathologic entities, not previously imaged. 

Key Results:

A study published in Ophthalmology found that optomap confirmed the presence of wide-ranging AMD-like pathologic changes even in those without central sight-threatening macular disease. 67% of patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) had peripheral retinal changes associated with AMD.

Key Results:

A comprehensive review published in Retina describes how ultra-widefield is evolving to become the standard of care imaging modality for many diseases and is finding new clinical and research applications such as for screening and telemedicine.

Key Results:

Results published in Eye showed for the first time that Optos non-contact ultra-widefield imaging can obtain high-quality images in ROP. 

Key Results:

A study published in Eye and Brain suggests that adding an optomap to a traditional BIO exam may improve sensitivity by up to 30%.

Key Results:

A study published in Retina finds that optomap icg was found to demonstrate high image quality, comparable in the central pole to competitive products and peripheral changes were visualized outside of 68° field of view in 69% of eyes evaluated.

Key Results:

A study published in Ophthalmology details the extent of perfused area in the healthy retina using measurements from optomap fa.

Key Results:

Ocular screening programs which include optomap imaging have a higher rate of diabetic retinopathy detection and more effectively identify patients at high risk for progression. 

Key Results:

On a single nonsteered image, the Optos optomap covered a significantly larger total retinal surface area, with greater image variability, than did the Heidelberg Spectralis ultra-widefield module. The Optos captured an appreciably wider view of the retina temporally and nasally.
