My opinions is that is a device of extremes. Best camera ever in terms of
light exposure hands down. Great for small pupil's poor media. Very good for
wide angle. Doctors love it but they do not have to operate it. I hate it for
some patients and love it for others.
On the other side software is very poor. Slow if you are used to conventional
FA I can work a lot faster on Topcon or HRA. Poor for ergonomics I hate
entering data on it. I do not like the view on the monitor you get while
imaging.
I find the reliability poor. This is from having a demo, getting a new one and
then experience of the office across the street having 2 in different clinics.
Service here is poor. This for me would be the deal breaker if it was our only
devise. The control cord seems to not last very long.

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!
