A new automated fundus camera on the market aims to help streamline retinal exams for eyecare practitioners. Launched by Visionix USA, the VX 610 non-mydriatic fundus camera is equipped with automatic functions for alignment, focus and capture to enhance imaging accuracy and consistency, according to the company.

The camera uses technology referred to by Visionix as “cross-polarized light,” which developers say enables high-quality imaging clarity without the need for pupil dilation. It offers a 45-degree field of view along with a 90-degree mosaic function for extensive retinal screening capabilities.

Using AI, the company website explains that the system is trained to auto-detect early signs of 13 common retinal pathologies. Visionix notes that the AI technology correctly flags a positive result 93% of the time, while negative results are properly identified at a rate of 90.6%.

The VX 610 device employs a touch-screen interface and occupies a compact space, making it easy to integrate into various practice settings, says Visionix. Optometrists attending Vision Expo West in Las Vegas next month will be able to view live demonstrations of the device on-site in the exhibit hall.
