Accessible Imaging By Volk

Handheld fundus imaging is taking over. Here’s how it can benefit your patients and your practice

Desktop fundus cameras haven’t offered much improvement in patient accessibility in some time, and as the industry moves forward with new technology, it’s the smaller handheld cameras that are coming out on top. Handheld fundus cameras are now everywhere, from your satellite office to the mobile practice and even in as part of diabetic retinopathy screenings in the patient’s home.

While ease-of-use has been a cause for concern in the past, with new handheld fundus cameras models providing internal fixation, auto-focus and auto-capture, every tech at your practice can become a part of the solution.

 

Testimonial

“Under 2016 ICD10 for retinopathy you must now document that a patient has a micro-aneurism. Only the Pictor Plus is going to be able to do that in your satellite office.”

Dr David Tasker, MD

 

Change how you think about workflow and bring the fundus camera to the patient.

It’s usually practice workflow that benefits most from taking a fixed station and making it portable. Imaging stations are often the most congested part of a practice, and with the increasing number of available diagnostic instruments, it’s not getting any better. One solution being used by an increasing number of Ophthalmologists and Optometrists is taking the fundus camera out and around the practice. Moving patients from room to room around the practice is not always straightforward, so why not bring the camera to the patient?

Build your practice with accessible imaging for all your patients.

Desktop fundus imaging can exclude some of your most vulnerable patients, with young children, the physically disabled and elderly patients unable to benefit from the advantages of documentation, patient education and screening provided by fundus photography. Handheld imaging is the new solution for ensuring that every patient at your practice has fundus imaging available to them.
