Ultra-Widefield Imaging Performance:

  • 200° single-capture retinal field of view capturing approximately 82% of the retinal surface in less than 0.5 seconds

  • Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) technology capable of imaging up to 200° of the fundus in single capture

  • Non-mydriatic, non-contact imaging through 2mm pupils and penetration through cataracts

Imaging Modalities:

  • Ultra-widefield autofluorescence capabilities with ultra-high resolution imaging

  • Autofluorescence imaging with green laser light and 3-in-1 Color Depth imaging technology

  • Four imaging modalities available: composite color, red laser, green laser, and autofluorescence

Technical Architecture

Laser Specifications: Low-powered laser wavelengths scan simultaneously, enabling review of retinal substructures in individual laser separations. The system utilizes:

  • Red laser (633nm): Enhanced choroidal detail and RPE visualization

  • Green laser (532nm): Optimized for retinal vascular architecture and nerve fiber layer assessment

  • Dual-wavelength composite imaging for comprehensive structural evaluation

Image Processing and Geometry:

  • Images displayed in consistent geometry accurately representing anatomical features across the retina

  • Automatic image registration enables pixel-to-pixel comparisons for longitudinal analysis

  • Ultra-high resolution desktop viewing capabilities within compact design

Clinical Applications and Workflow Integration

Screening Efficiency: Enhanced clinical practice through improved workflow efficiency, early detection of peripheral retinal changes, and enhanced patient education through real-time image sharing. The Daytona's rapid acquisition facilitates:

  • Comprehensive diabetic retinopathy screening without mydriasis

  • Detection of peripheral retinal breaks and degenerations

  • Assessment of retinal vascular anomalies extending beyond the posterior pole

Pathology Detection Capabilities: The 200° field coverage enables visualization of:

  • Peripheral retinal neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy

  • Retinal detachments and tears in far periphery

  • Choroidal nevi and melanomas often missed in conventional imaging

  • Inflammatory changes in posterior uveitis extending to retinal periphery

Software Integration:

  • Standard V2 Vantage Pro software for image management and analysis

  • OptosAdvance browser-based image review software for documentation, monitoring, and referral processing
