So far it is exactly as advertised (we have the swingarm/stand as well, as we use it in the OR for EUAs) - image quality is good, it is easy to use. The only thing i would like to see (so far) is integration with the RTVue database as we have years and years of data on that. I'll try to post more updates to OPTIMAL as we use it more, but at this point it is meeting expectations. sandor Sandor Ferenczy, CRA, OCTc Ophthalmic Photographer Ocular Oncology Service Wills Eye Institute 840 Walnut Street, 14th Floor Philadelphia, Pa 19107 www.fighteyecancer.com On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 9:07 AM, Burris, Russ D. <Russ-Burris@xxxxxxxx> wrote: Happy Thanksgiving all Does anyone out there have any experience with hand held OCT's?
