Leading suppliers, Kowa Optimed, renowned for their high quality, accurate imaging combined with simple, fast, easy to use fundus cameras, is pleased to announce that their latest innovation, the nonmyd WX3D, has been approved for the English National Screening Programme for Diabetic Retinopathy in the UK.
With over 5 million people expected to have diabetes in the UK by 2025, and with diabetic retinopathy being the main cause of blindness in 16-65 year old age group, the National Screening Programme aims to reduce the risk of sight loss by offering annual screening to diabetic patients for prompt identification and effective treatment of sight threatening retinopathies.
Having successfully undergone the rigorous assessment by the English National Screening Programme for Diabetic Retinopathy, including evaluation of the products usability, image quality and data transfer, the nonmyd WX3D now joins Kowa’s well-established fundus camera, the nonmyd 7, on the approved list.
The world’s first 2D/3D Non-Mydriatic fundus camera offers enhanced retinal imaging over traditional camera systems. “This is a new concept in retinal photography, states Abdul Jahangir, Kowa’s Sales & Marketing Manager, the nonmyd WX3D allows images of the optic cup and disc to be viewed in 3D, providing superior stereo images to support diagnosis of other sight threatening conditions such as glaucoma.” Thus as well as diabetic screening, the nonmyd WX3D can also be utilised for glaucoma screening with its simple, easy to use glaucoma module.
