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,
Tom Steele,

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!
