Pearls for Implementing EMR in Ophthalmic Practice

Dr. Lauren Shatz offers some pearls for transitioning to EMR in ophthalmic practice. Dr. Shatz discusses choosing EMR, nuances of EMR modules, as well as the initial time investment that it takes to implement EMR. Dr. Shatz also touches on the efficiencies that are the payoff for transitioning to EMR.

Optronics Microcast HD Studio Camera

Microcast HD Studio is a medical grade high definition microsurgical imaging system developed for ophthalmic microsurgery. The full-high definition imaging system produces uncompressed 1920x1080p images with superior color accuracy, detail and depth perception of microsurgical fields, delivering 60 images per second.

Microcast HD Studio, captures full HD stills and presentation quality progressive scan MPEG-4 H.264 video without a computer, allowing the surgeon to focus on surgery not camera programming or complicated video editing.

LEDs Illuminate Eye For Ocular Disease Screening

A new imaging system using six different wavelengths to illuminate the interior of the eyeball (ocular fundus) may pave the way for doctors to easily screen patients for common diseases of the eye, such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The system is described in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments, which is published by the American Institute of Physics.
