Note to Editors
Optos plc is a leading and rapidly growing medical technology company for the design,
sensitive area at the back of the eye. Optos' platform technology is the Panoramic200
Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope device - known as the P200. In a quarter of a second,
the P200 device produces a high resolution image of up to 200 degrees or
approximately 82 percent of the retina in a single capture. The image - branded the
optomap® Retinal Exam - provides eye care practitioners with clinically useful
information that facilitates the early detection of disorders and diseases evidenced in
the retina, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular
degeneration. Retinal imaging can also indicate evidence of non-eye or systemic
diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers. The Company has
regulatory clearance (CE and FDA 510(k)) to market a second device - P200MA.
Optos’ technology provides an unequalled combination of wide-field retinal imaging,
speed and convenience for both practitioner and patient and can help save sight and
save lives.
