      AI-based retinal fluid analytics of serial Notal Vision home OCT images offers insights into retinal disease dynamics

      Longitudinal data on retinal imaging of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients using the final form factor of Notal Vision’s home OCT (NOTAL-OCT V3.0) was presented at the Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration meeting in Miami. The pipeline technology is designed to use home-based, patient-initiated retinal OCT scans to support the management of patients with exudative AMD, complementing existing standard of care as well as emerging longer acting drugs and drug delivery systems. “This is the first time nano-liter scale quantities of intra- and subretinal fluid have been tracked over time based on home OCT images and deep learning retinal ...

      Optos eyes continued global growth with new eyecare technology made in Scotland

      This March, the company will launch an addition to its flagship technology called optical coherence tomography (OCT), which uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of a patient’s retina. “On our latest device, we’re the first to allow an OCT scan to take place anywhere on the retina,” Kennedy explained. “That’s been developed here in Scotland and it allows doctors to see different layers, a bit like a CT scan, across the retina, whereas traditional devices typically only look at the central area. OCT scans are really important for many eye diseases as they allow you to ...
