I've worked with Optos cameras with monitor on both sides. You need to become
ambidextrous.
Since our RN prefers to use right arm for injections, I prefer the monitor to
be on the left. Although many times the left arm has the better vein so I need
to shift to the right side & if needed, she knows how to make adjustments to
the setting on the monitor between time of injection & 30 seconds (along with
removing needle) which is when I switch eyes & reposition myself to the left
side.
Since getting the California we've dubbed the TX200 the "T-Rex". Lots of nice
new features & definitely improved resolutions with the Cal. But I still like
some of the feature of that old T-Rex. Maybe because that's what I learned on &
I'm becoming a dinosaur myself LOL!!
Stay safe everyone,Paul

That's my setup and I also am right handed. With some patients l use both hands
to hold head, and raise eyebrow and/or lids + remote. Six fingered hands would
be a big help!

Group,Always sleep better when I get confirmation from your crowd experience -
In pre planning stage for the Optos 200Tx (ivfa) to be relocated to our
satellite office - squeezed into a room with a Spectralis. Please
advise:During set up of this device I can arrange the Scan head monitor on
either the right or left of the Scan head. Being right hand dominant, it would
make sense to me to place this monitor on the right side of the scan head (and
operating it from that R side w/remote), and use my left hand to support the
patient's head when needed. Does that in fact work well in your actual use of
this device - assuming you too are right handed?
Stay vigilant,Stuart
