• No flash for patient comfort
• Lightweight and compact

With the rising demand for detailed fundus documentation the new HRC adds more functionality to the ophthalmologists office. A new small, light-weight and easy-to-use camera, the HRC, is a scanning digital ophthalmoscope that combines the advantages of scanning light technology and the conventional fundus camera. The retina is illuminated by a narrow slit, and the reflected images are recorded line-by-line by the CCD camera. This scanning principle results in high image quality by suppressing scattered light even in eyes with hazy media. Images are rapidly acquired in single or movie sequences in either colour or angiography modes. Fields of view are 25 or 50 degree for both retina and anterior chamber. The HRC uses halogen illumination and requires no flash and thus is very comfortable for patients during acquisition. Your patients will feel the difference!

Add Functions without loosing the space in your office by using the standard software platform, the Heidelberg Eye Explorer (HEYEX), the HRC connects to the existing patient database of HRT and HRA for more extensive patient management of retinal diseases. It is now possible to create a space and cost efficient device combination by connecting the HRC to the existing PC and table environment of the HRT or HRA and consequently complement diagnosis. According to the specific need of the practice the HRC is available as a stand-alone, can be mounted on a slit lamp or operated hand held.

HRC Retina Images

The HRC’s unique scanning principle allows for rapid real time image acquisition e.g. to follow the early filling stages of fluorescence dye live on screen. Constant image focus allows quick and sharp adjustment prior to image acquisition and is independent on focal distance. High contrast fluorescein angiograms, taken in the single (or preferably movie mode), enable detection and monitoring of age related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), occlusive and other retinal diseases. Filling deficits during early, middle and late phases will immediately be detected.
