This document discusses challenges in retinal imaging. Specifically, it notes that eye health care is a rapidly expanding market and retinal imaging requires constant innovation in physics and computer science. It also summarizes that the demand for eye care services is increasing significantly due to growing rates of diabetic retinopathy and the associated economic costs. Technologies like Optos SLO/OCT aim to address this increasing demand through wider retinal imaging capabilities.

Why?
Diabetic retinopathy incidence in +40 year-old
diabetics in the US is 28.5賊4% [1].
The cost of diabetic retinopathy to the US is
approximately $500 million annually [2].
The demand for eye-care services in
The Netherlands will increase by 200300%
between 2010 and 2020 [3].

SOURCES OF ILLUMINATION
It was the lack of a strong, stable
source of illumination that held up
the development of the ophthalmo-
scope in the 19th century.
Early users of the Helmholtz
ophthalmoscope had to put up with
a naked flickering candle as a light
source. During this first decade, the
candle was largely replaced by the
oil lamp and then the paraffin-
burning lamp.
Various valiant attempts were
made at this time to allow the source
of illumination to follow the move-
ments of the ophthalmoscope: the
first by Ricardus Ulrich in 1854 with
his candleholder precariously at-
tached to the observation tube,4(p40)
and the second by Lionel Beale in
1869 with his built-in oil lamp.5(p97) Figure 1. Early model of the Helmholtz ophthalmoscope, 1851.
Late in the 18th century, Swiss-
born physician and chemist Aime Ar-
卒
gand had invented a device that was
to evolve into the most common
source of illumination during the
second half of the 19th century: the
gas lamp. In the ordinary oil lamp,
combustion was not complete. Ar-
cation retinal pho- gands improvement was the replace-
ier efforts. ment of the conventional wick with

The test, pioneered by experts at the University of Edinburgh, will look at 1,000
patients with suspected heart disease. The study will prove whether scans can detect
signs of heart disease, which can be difficult to diagnose.
Researchers will use specialist equipment on loan from Optos an eye care company
based in Dunfermline, Fife.
