Vision Instruments has developed a unique retinal camera for capturing digital images of the eye's retina for public health retinal eye disease screening programs. This retinal camera is portable, requires minimal training for use by paramedic staff, and is non-mydriatic (i.e. does not require pharmacological pupil dilation).

There is a growing need for retinopathy screening to reduce preventable blindness through early diagnosis of diabetic eye disease, glaucoma and macular degeneration. The VI retinal camera has a uniquely intuitive alignment system and an autofocus capability to facilitate ease of use by inexperienced operators. It is robust, sealed against dust and humidity and is easily portable for application in remote areas and the developing world. The new retinal camera is available directly from Vision Instruments.

Although developed for retinopathy screening, the retinal camera is also suitable for Optometry and Ophthalmology practices.

Production has commenced, with the first cameras already allocated to customers working in remote area screening. Further cameras will be available for delivery from April 2012 and VI is now signing agreements to reserve production cameras for customers who are happy to pay a deposit for a VI NM1 Retinal Camera in advance.

The VI-NM1 Retinal Camera is designed with the following keypoints taken in consideration:

Portability
Less than half the weight and half the volume of many comparable retinal cameras.

Field-readiness
Sealed and ruggedised, 12v battery operation, download images direct to USB stick, no PC required.

Ease of use
Simple operation and automatic focus.

Performance
Image quality equal to the best non-mydriatic retinal cameras.
