What Your Peers in Ophthalmology are Saying

"The complete, clear picture provided by optomap makes us faster and more effective in our examinations and patient discussions.  This has enabled us to see approximately five additional patients per day, which more than covers the monthly equipment cost."

"Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that optomap color imaging is better than white light photography for identifying and documenting retinal pathology With the high resolution California system, I not only identify vascular lesions in the periphery, but macular changes as well.  The image resolution is so excellent we rely almost exclusively on optomap for identifying macular disease and evaluating the retinal periphery."

"By facilitating earlier diagnosis, earlier treatment, and more effective patient education, optomap retinal imaging is helping to shape the new standard of care for DR that will preserve vision for more of our patients with diabetes."

"I believe that optomap imaging is becoming standard of care, and anyone who is not utilizing this technology is missing significant benefits."

"I order baseline optomap ultra-widefield imaging on virtually every retinal vascular patient with pathology I evaluate."

"optomap is a whole lot more than fundus photography. My partners and I agree that it is certainly worth the cost."

"Using ultra-widefield optomap as a diagnostic tool has become essential in a comprehensive eye examination in order to identify all vascular pathologies. The California from Optos is an indispensable device in clinics - especially in the examination of children!" 

"optomap is now as much a part of every exam as measuring intraocular pressure.  The ability to see so far out into the periphery means earlier detection of sight and life threatening issues which translates into a higher probability of successful treatments."

"optomap guided ophthalmoscopy has revolutionized our clinics -- how we assess, diagnose, and care for our patients."

"The Optos optomap camera is our preferred imaging modality. We own five systems in three locations. The 200 degree, high resolution images, and easy-to-use autofocus modality make it superior to other imaging systems."

"Why would one not invest in this technology? It is simply a "no-brainer" for me. The field of view and image clarity of Silverstone can take one's practice and, most importantly, one's ability to care for patients, to an entirely different level. I will continue to invest in each new generation of the Optos systems because they are consistently superior technology yielding superior quality-of-care for all my patients."

"Without trying optomap, it is almost impossible to understand its full potential, so I encourage my colleagues to demo the device and experience the dynamic virtues of the technology in the context of their own clinical setting."

"The reality is, until we had ultra-widefield imaging, we didn't know how much pathology was out there in the retina. The California UWF device shows us the retina in color, AF, FA, and ICGA and has become the standard of care in the early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy, AMD, and other conditions. The Optos system captures virtually the entire retina in one shot - it doesn't get much better than that!"

"The UWF fluorescein angiography, along with the high-resolution, detailed images, elevate optomap to a distinctly unrivaled place in the imaging market. Our California icg was a sound investment and has become an integral part of the practice."

"optomap has helped me advance my practice through increased retention and referrals, as well as, through an improved patient flow that now allows me to see 6-7 more patients daily."

“optomap ultra-widefield imaging has enabled us to better understand disease mechanisms, inform prognosis and stratify risks in retinal diseases. In clinical trials, the patient acceptability of ultra-widefield imaging far exceeds 7-field imaging, too.”

"At the Kellogg Eye Center the majority of our FA and ICGA studies are conducted with the California from Optos.  We find the 200-degree view immensely important clinically and it is easy to use and comfortable for patients."  

"Other fundus cameras (even the one that claims to provide a widefield view) do not come close to the field of view and image quality of California ... I regret purchasing the other device... the Optos images are diagnostically superior."  

“My practice focus is patients with glaucoma and cataracts; optomap gives me an excellent view of findings typical in glaucoma patients, such as cup-to-disc, disc hemorrhages, notching or focal thinning and papillary atrophy. In addition, the UWF image allows me to pick up subtle issues such as retinal nerve fiber layer drop-off which I would not be able to see with a limited-field photo.”

"Optos ultra-widefield angiography not only helps capture changes, but also allows us to gain a new perspective on our current understanding of diseases, e.g. the assessment of ischemic retinal vein occlusion or changes in Coats’ Disease or FEVR."

"optomap is valuable for clinic flow and patient education, and it has expanded my ability to perform innovative trials because it offers a quick, reproducible and reliable way to image through the periphery."
