Optos was founded by Douglas Anderson after his then five-year-old son Leif went blind in one eye when a retinal detachment was detected too late. The intention was to create a way of non-invasively capturing as much of the retina in one image as possible to allow for more comfortable and efficient imaging of children. Results from numerous clinical studies suggest that optomap may be an essential element to the screening and management of pediatric patients. In a clinical setting, many eye care professionals have utilized optomap technology including optomap fa for disease states such as retinopathy of prematurity, MARFAN syndrome, Coat’s disease, incontinentia pigmenti, among others and highlighted and referenced in the clinical studies below. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the speed in which screening images are taken on Optos devices with a chin and headrest may enable better image quality for pediatric patients.
Clinical Studies
Non-contact ultra-widefield imaging of retinopathy of prematurity using the Optos dual wavelength scanning laser ophthalmoscope.

The Optos ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscope is capable of acquiring clinically useful high-quality images of the fundus in ROP subjects. The imaging technique could potentially be used in monitoring ROP progression and documenting ROP regression following treatment.

optomap Multimodal Pediatric Cases
Optos offers multimodal imaging with all ultra-widefield devices. Having both ultra-widefield and four images captured in less than one second has been shown to enhance pathology detection and disease management as well as improve practice and clinic flow. Ultra-widefield multimodal imaging is important across all access points of patient care - screening, detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

Patient Story - Paul
Paul came to Tooele Vision Center for a routine eye exam, he knew he had a history of Coats' disease but was asymptomatic and therefore, unconcerned. His optomap image showed otherwise and he was sent to a retinal specialist for treatment.
