A study conducted by the New England College of Optometry and recently published in Eye and Brain focused on the ability of traditional ophthalmoscopy to detect retinal lesions in comparison to an examination conducted with the use of optomap.
The study found exams assisted by optomap, retinal imaging technology from ophthalmology device company Optos, detected 30 percent more retinal lesions than the traditional eye exam.
The results of the study were previewed at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology annual meeting.
