Posted on mardi 20 juin 2023

For the month of June, Optos joins Prevent Blindness America in observing Cataract Awareness Month to further the education surrounding cataracts, what you should know, as well as the value of ultra-widefield (UWFTM) imaging for practitioners as a complement to standard approaches for a comprehensive evaluation of retinal health prior to, and following cataract surgery.

In the United States, more than 25 million Americans are estimated to have cataracts, according to the report: “Future of Vision: Forecasting the Prevalence and Costs of Vision Problems”.
