How does EyePACS support retinal exams?
Patients with diabetes can receive retinal evaluation with a digital retinal camera during primary care visits, or even at sites beyond the walls of the traditional office. The camera can be operated by a nurse or by other individuals who have been technically trained and certified. The digital images are uploaded to the EyePACS web site where they are evaluated on line by trained and certified readers. Recommendations for follow-up and treatment are then made by credentialed doctors, and sent electronically to the patient’s electronic medical record or directly to their primary care physician.
