New for Spring of 2021 Now take retinal photos with your EyePhotoDoc
Optic nerve photos
The Lens Stand™️ allows a retinal photo. Since you are not holding the lens you have a hand free to hold the lids, focus the camera, or do any necessary adjustments. You use your own lens and we recommend the 60 diopter for ease of use.
A quick view requires no dilation!
You can visualize the optic nerve and macula in many patients for a ‘quick view’. Dilation is best but with some practice you will be able to look into many eyes.
Quick and easy dilation without loss of accommodation
A combination of a pupillary sphincter muscle relaxation and pupillary peripheral contraction opens the pupil for a wide view. Very little blurring!
Apple cameras allow low light examinations of the retina
Patients feel uncomfortable with bright lights focused on the retina. The Apple camera needs less light so your patients suffer less light discomfort.
As an option, the ProCamera photo app can flip photos photos to the correct anatomical position.
Adjustable for most lenses
The Lens Stand comes with a Velcro outside strap with a snap on it. The strap allows you to use it for a freehand exam or on the Lens Stand™️. It will work with most slit lamp lenses. We recommend that you choose your favorite lens and give us the dioptric power, and diameter. We will make it ‘Insert and examine’
Once you get familiar with it you can use many lenses. You will need to adjust the height and back focal length for different dioptric powers.
Why the Lens Stand sets a new standard
The slit lamp was designed for external photos. Aspheric lenses were introduced around 1986 and revolutionized Fundus examinations. We now add more precision and capabilities.
The Lens Stand permits the sharpest focus possible because the back vertex distance of the lens is perfectly focused. Since the lens is held steady, the doctor can adjust the reflections off the lens to obtain a clearer image. Noteworthy is you can use different magnifications. This was never possible when you had to hold the lens and focus the slit lamp!
