Canon CR-1 Mark II Digital Retinal Camera Review
, Posted in
The Canon CR-1 Mark II Digital Retinal Camera epitomizes state-of-the-art non-mydriatic imaging technology with dramatically reduced brightness, improved overall comfort, and significantly shorter exams. For patients having non-mydriatic retinal exams, the bright flash can be unpleasant. CR-1 Mark II focuses on reducing patient stress to provide comfortable retinal exams by significantly reducing the flash intensity. Because retinal exams play an important role in screening for major illnesses, the ease of examining provided by the CR-1 Mark II supports overall healthcare for people.
Efficiency of non-mydriatic retinal exams heavily depends on a patient's darkness adaptation period. The low flash intensity of CR-1 Mark II minimizes miosis, thus shortening the time required for taking multiple pictures such as binocular and stereo images. The reduced brightness induces more patient compliance, leading to speedy and accurate exams for high throughput screening.
