Opticology Principals to Present at 2013 ARVO Annual Meeting
February 21, 2013
In partnership with New York Eye & Ear Infirmary and the Lighthouse International, both of New York, Opticology principals Anthony Cappo and Matthew Orr will present their findings from a clinical study entitled A New Method to Depict Central Scotomas: Automated Stereocampimetry at the 2013 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual meeting in Seattle this coming May.
Opticology has worked closely with medical researchers in the development of this new device which can measure with precision pathological areas of non-vision on the retina, or scotomas, typically found in patients with age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy. The device consists of minimal hardware, controlled by software and is installed compactly on modern ophthalmic examination chair swing arm. It is meant to be a low cost alternative yet provide valuable information to the clinician regarding diagnosis and following disease after treatment.
