Optomed Aurora 27
5.1 Retinal Module
When imaging with Aurora Retinal Module, the examination room
should be as dim as possible. It is recommended that both the patient
and the examiner are seated during the examination. It is also possible
to perform the examination when the patient is lying down.
Ask the patient to keep the eye aligned with the target light and to
cover the other eye. Approach the pupil and stabilize the camera
by supporting the optics module on your thumb and place your
fingers on the patient’s forehead. Press the eye cup firmly around
the examined eye. The pupil is approached until the reflection from the eye fundus can be seen. The right
imaging distance is about 2 cm (0.8 inch).
The aim help circle on the display guides when to capture an image. When the retina is not fully in view,
the circle is red. Once the aim is good and the retina fully appears on the screen, the circle turns green.
