    Aurora IQ fundus image

    Get the BIG picture

    Optomed Aurora® IQ handheld fundus camera enables a detailed non-mydriatic examination of the ocular fundus with a high-resolution image.

    The image can be taken by non-physician staff, further integrated into the hospital system, and used for treatment follow-up.

    Aurora IQ benefits in neurology

    Clinically validated benefits of Optomed fundus imaging in neurology2

    Success rate in imaging of emergency department patients

    Reliably completed by an emergency physician or a nurse

    Compre­hensive fundus examination without pupil dilation

    Integration to medical records and further use

    Improve papilledema detection

    Detecting papilledema through an undilated pupil with traditional direct ophthalmoscopy is extremely difficult, and critical retinal findings might be left undetected. Non-mydriatic fundus photography can replace direct ophthalmoscopy in many settings, allowing faster and more accurate diagnosis of various neurologic and systemic disorders.1,4

    Detecting papilledema with Optomed Aurora IQ in acute neurology patients

    Patient with headache, hypertensive crisis or other neurological deficit comes into a clinic

    To rule out more severe underlying cause for the neurologic condition examine optic disc rapidly with Aurora IQ

    Save fundus image electronically to medical records, and send image for consultation if needed

    Detect presence or absence of papilledema or other acute retinal changes immediately and determine treatment plan
