Five reasons to choose iCare DRSplus: The ideal fundus imaging device for optician shops, general practitioners and diabetic clinics

Looking for a simple yet effective way to conduct fundus imaging at your optician shop or small clinic? Using iCare DRSplus, you’ll provide customers with a quick, comfortable and reliable examination without specialized expertise. In turn, the device can change their lives and your business.

When attending a routine eye exam, your customers expect basic tests, reading charts, and adjusting lenses. With iCare DRSplus, you can provide a lot more—allow them to recognize serious eye diseases. Curious, they agree to the quick, painless scan and, when necessary, can turn to a specialist for treatment.

For example, spotting early signs of diabetic retinopathy, which often have no symptoms, can help prevent vision loss. Thus, using iCare DRSplus leads to better patient outcomes while increasing trust and recommendations towards your service. Moreover, the strain on healthcare devices is a global problem that constantly requires new proactive and preventive eye care solutions, in which optician shops and small clinics have a significant role.

Why choose iCare DRSplus fundus imaging device

iCare DRSplus is abundant for standard fundus imaging, covering the standard field of view. It’s a perfect match for optical shops, general practitioners, and small clinics that do not require advanced diagnostic capabilities—an excellent choice to be used as a part of the workflow of preliminary screenings. The five main benefits of iCare DRSplus are:

1. Add patient comfort and efficiency with dilation-free procedure

With iCare DRSplus, no pupil dilation is required. Your patients don’t have to wait for the drops to take effect, wear sunglasses, and wait before driving afterwards—meaning quick and comfortable examinations, reduced appointment times, i.e., more satisfied customers, as well as improved workflow and efficiency.

2. Streamline your workflow through automation

Unlike traditional fundus cameras that require manual adjustments, DRSplus is fully automated, making it easy to operate. Its intelligent alignment and auto-focus capabilities ensure high-quality images with minimal effort and expertise. Automation is particularly beneficial for those without extensive experience in fundus imaging, allowing them to perform confidently and streamline the workflow by just pushing a button.

3. Learn fast through human-centric design

Using iCare DRSplus requires no unique expertise and can be taken into use quickly. In addition to the automation, the simple, touchscreen-based navigation makes learning and use easy without extensive training.

4. Interpret reliably and quickly through unparalleled image quality

iCare transforms fundus imaging with a confocal optical engine and white light LED, producing TrueColor images with exceptional sharpness and contrast. Blocking scattered light ensures clarity even with cataracts and works without dilation for pupils as small as 2.5 mm. It also enhances visualization with red-free, blue, red, and infrared imaging. Even if there is an obstruction in the eye that would typically block light, it still allows for precise imaging of the retina. The light penetrates effectively, making the imaging process easier and more reliable. As a result, you’ll get high-quality images that are easier to interpret.

5. Harness the power of AI and collaborate seamlessly

iCare DRSplus is fully compatible with iCare Screening Solution, which uses iCare RETCAD AI to help detect the early signs of diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma (GLC) using artificial intelligence (AI). The iCare Screening Solution efficiently reviews images, saving time, enabling early intervention, and optimizing workflows. Screening is now possible for all your patients, including those with ocular media opacities like cataracts and vitreous cloudiness.

In addition, using ILLUME Connect, you can share the referrals to the eye care specialists on a secure cloud-based platform that enables easy image storage, sharing, and analysis. This integration allows clinicians to manage patient records and collaborate with the specialists remotely seamlessly
