EIDON FA


ICare Eidon fundus imaging

Abstract

The EIDON represents a breakthrough in retinal imaging technology, combining confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy with TrueColor fundus photography in a single platform. Utilizing white LED illumination and confocal optics, the system achieves 15 μm retinal resolution while eliminating scattered light artifacts common in conventional fundus cameras.

Core Technology Specifications

Confocal System Architecture:

  • First TrueColor Confocal system combining Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) with standard fundus imaging

  • Ultra-high resolution capability of 15 μm on the retina

  • White light LED illumination for TrueColor imaging with no distortion and superior color fidelity

Field of View Capabilities:

  • Standard: 60° in single exposure, up to 150° with Mosaic function

  • 90° standard field, expandable to 120° with UWF Lens

  • Ultra-Widefield Module: 120° images in single shot, up to 200° with SmartMosaic function

  • Widefield optics ranging from 90°-160° (standard) to 120°-200° (UWF module)

Imaging Modalities:

  • TrueColor, blue, red, Red-Free, and infrared confocal images

  • Blue autofluorescence capability (EIDON AF model)

  • Fluorescein Angiography with video recording capability (EIDON FA model)

Clinical Performance Parameters:

  • Minimum pupil size requirement: 2.5mm (non-mydriatic operation)

  • Capability to image through cataract and media opacities

  • Dilation-free operation with live confocal view

System Integration:

  • Patient auto-sensing, auto-alignment, auto-focus capabilities

  • All-in-one compact design with no external PC required

  • EIDON FA Remote Viewer for network-based review

The confocal technology is particularly significant for clinical practice as it eliminates scattered light, providing sharper images with enhanced contrast - crucial for detecting subtle pathological changes in conditions like diabetic retinopathy, AMD, and glaucomatous changes. The 15 μm resolution allows for detailed assessment of retinal microvasculature and early pathological changes that might be missed with conventional fundus photography.
