Volk offers a range of handheld retina cameras to fit your diagnostic and screening needs. But how can you leverage this technology when screening for diabetic retinopathy?
Volk has partnered with Orvos Healthcare to provide better access to eye screenings with the ability to send images for evaluation.
But First, What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
People with diabetes have a 25 times higher risk of blindness than individuals without diabetes, and more than 90% of visual loss caused by diabetes can be avoided with early detection and treatment. Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults, caused by damage to blood vessels in the tissue at the back of the eye.
Early signs can be difficult to detect without regular eye screenings.
