Canon Eyecare Technology will be Exhibited at Vision Expo East

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, will be in attendance for Vision Expo East from Friday, March 22 through Sunday, March 24, 2019 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. Event attendees are encouraged to visit Canon U.S.A. at booth #MS5036 where the company will showcase Canon eyecare devices and teleretinal solutions.

The highlight  of the Canon booth will be the CR-2 AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal camera and imageSPECTRUM Image Management System software¹, an intuitive software solution offering image management and portability to help improve workflow (sold separately). Healthcare professionals using either the Windows® 7 with SQL 2012 or Windows 10 with SQL 2016 operating system are able to perform retinal screenings and then quickly transmit the images to doctors' offices, both domestic and overseas², to assist in making a diagnosis by using the CR-2 AF retinal camera with imageSPECTRUM software.

Utilizing Canon EOS optics and CMOS image-capture technology, the CR-2 AF camera features a customized 24-megapixel digital camera. With the press of a button, users can switch between auto and manual focusing for ultimate control and ease-of-use. The Auto Capture function determines the appropriate moment to capture an image by analyzing when exposure and alignment are ideal.

The imageSPECTRUM software includes a set of digital RGB filters to assist with the viewing of suspect pathologies and an opacity suppression filter to help eyecare professionals take clear images of the eye.

The following Canon eyecare devices will also be on display at Vision Expo East:

• CR-2 PLUS AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera: The CR-2 PLUS AF incorporates Canon EOS technology and provides superb retinal images under just about any condition with integrated AutoExposure, AutoFocus, AutoFundus and AutoCapture. The CR-2 PLUS AF camera includes a non-invasive Fundus Autofluorescence imaging mode that provides the reviewer with the ability to quickly assess the condition of the RPE layer.
• RK-F2 Full Auto Ref-Keratometer: The RK-F2 Full Auto Ref-Keratometer includes a Full Auto Mode which allows professionals to automatically align, focus, and acquire a reading for one eye and continue to the opposite eye to perform the same function – all with one touch of a button. This feature contributes to a comfortable, efficient screening process for the patient.
• TX-20 Full Auto Tonometer: Designed to be compact and lightweight, the non-contact tonometer is easy to transport and install. With soft air puffs, the TX-20 tonometer easily measures Intraocular Pressure (IOP), enhancing patient comfort and allowing doctors to perform simple eye exams efficiently. The TX-20 Tonometer, as the RK-F2 Keratometer, also offers a one-touch Full Auto Mode to automatically align, focus, and capture readings.
