Validation of the Welch Allyn RetinaVueTM 100 Imager Handheld Fundus Camera for Teleretinal Imaging in Primary Care

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults¹, but up to 95% of cases can be prevented if detected and treated at an early stage². Unfortunately, if diabetic patients do not schedule and attend annual ophthalmologic appointments, the disease may go undetected, resulting in permanent vision loss or blindness.

Historically, handheld fundus cameras have not been widely adopted for diabetic retinal exams in primary care settings due to poor image quality and difficulty to operate—but advances in fundus imaging technology is changing that.

This study outlines:

  • The new RetinaVue 100 Imager can be effectively used in non-eye care settings.
  • How retinal images can be captured by minimally experienced operators in just four minutes.
  • That a high percentage of these images can be successfully interpreted by an ophthalmologist.

Enabling diabetic retinal exams in primary care settings—a strategy that works for patients and providers

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most preventable blinding diseases in the world.1Unfortunately, due to the lack of warning signs and symptoms, it is often not detected until the late stages of the disease—when vision loss can be irreversible.

Early detection of diabetic retinopathy is critical for patients living with diabetes, so they are typically referred to the ophthalmologist for an annual eye exam—but about half either fail to schedule or fail to attend their appointment.2

Download the case study to learn how Summit Medical Group implemented a patient-centered solution to ensure compliance with the annual diabetic eye exam, enabling ophthalmologists to diagnose disease in early stages when vision-saving treatment options are still available.
