The RHC took a step forward in healthcare with the commissioning of Remidio Pristine 5.0 widefield fundus camera. Pristine 5.0 - Widefield Fundus Camera
We get a large number of patients with Diabetes and Hypertension. Retinopathy is a well known complication of both these diseases.
The prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy is almost 22%. Early detection and treatment are the cornerstones to minimise severe vision loss and blindness.
Till now, we were using Ophthalmoscope (Fundoscope) to view the Retina. Though we were able to pick up a number of Retinopathies, we also missed quite a few.
The Pristine 5.0 with its wide FOV is able to pick up more such early disease. In some patients, we have been able to share the image with Ophthalmologists for a second opinion.
A lot of gratitude to a good friend who made it possible to buy this equipment.
