A member asked:
Is optos ultra-wide field retinal imaging more efficient than indirect ophthalmoscopy to see large details of the retina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Efficiency-accuracy: Efficiency, speed, ease of use are attributes of optos, but detailed, high magnification ; dynamic indirect ophthalmoscopy by the eye md is better for careful discriminative diagnoses. Sorry, i don't want to be replaced (yet) by a camera! i've never been able to replace my careful examination of the retina with indirect ophthalmoscopy by an image, except by sd-oct which is excellent.
