I agree. If you have a glaucoma specialist he will hate your optic nerve
photos. occ. If the pt has trouble holding still you can have different size
discs.
We have one and it is not user friendly, get use to not seeing the pathology
1st person, as your use to w/your Topcon. I use to give our sales rep heck
with all my complaints. So when I mentioned this to our retina doc. Her
response was “it’s easier for the pt” which after I thought about it I
realized it is. Less photos = Less flash = Happy pt.
Hope this all helps..

Jim,
I was one of the beta testers in 2008. This is not meant to be a replacement
for 30 and 35 degree field fundus cameras. Holding eyelids is a challenge,
there seems to be a swath of the image (middle) which is much sharper than the
top and bottom of the image. Perhaps this was changed in the newer models in
the last 6 years.
Eye lashes sometimes are a problem with images, color imaging is not very
accurate, tends to lean heavy on the green side.
I like the wide angle, great for getting images out in the peripheral retina.
The tight field imaging is still wider than tradition 30 and 35 degree cameras.
Like all machines some will hate it others will praise it. The wide angle
imaging complements the other imaging systems in the office: ie. Topcon, Zeiss
and Heidelberg.
Thank You,

Our retinal practice is planning to purchase the Optos 200tx.We will demo it
for a month,with plans to add it as a second imaging device.We also have a
Topcon 50dx and 50 ix, which will be moved to our seldom used sattelite
office.I'd like to know what others experience and opinions are of the 200tx.
Thanks!
