Hello!

We are used RetCam and very satisfied with the quality of images.

Any other suggestion beside RetCam? A no-contact solution?

Do you mean optomap?

We tested an early version of the Optos ultra wide-field fundus camera in our clinic: https://www.optos.com

There is a link to a paper on telemedicine using the new Optos at the bottom of that web page.

I work in retinal imaging. The best quality images and software I prefer is the Topcon fundus camera by far

I wanted to ask this question because I believe that in the very next future we will face a reduction of the number of available doctors in our NHS and I think that telemedicine will help us to address patients towards the right direction in order to be taken in charge correctly. In this case I would like to understand if it possible to image retinal tears and holes to correctly prescribe LASER therapy.

Well then, the Zeiss CLARUS 500 has an ultra wide field. No matter what camera you'll buy, the trick will be to let "ophthalmologists" take the pictures and not "technicians" so they can spot retinal tears/holes and know where to look in the peripheral retina

I still recommend the Topcon fundus camera , with good pupillary dilatation and an experienced photographer

Both will do . Topcon fundus camera is very good with very good image quality.

I am sending an impactful paper on the matter

TopCon funds camer. Experienced person is able to show peryphery.

I suppose the best one will be

Are there any new devices since 2018?

The Zeiss Clarus 700, it can also do FA & ICG

https://www.zeiss.com/meditec/int/product-portfolio/retinal-cameras/clarus-700.html

From 2017/18 onwards Zeiss Clarus 500 - if you only want to do fundus photography (perfect ultra-widefield imaging, true-color, montage function, no distortions); Zeiss Clarus 700 if you want to add FA.

For diabetic retinopathy screening, this camera is very promising

In my humble opinion, the Nidek Mirante is the best choice for this purpose!

Despite it is not pure Fundus Camera but a mix of OCT-SLO, but the angle in 163 available.

The Mirante and Clarus are both amazing machines. They will probably be unmatched for years to come in terms of the quality of imaging. The issue with these machines is the cost. Retivue plans to release a low cost widefield camera for diabetic retinopathy screening. If and when they do that, it may be a good solution for community DR screening.
