When I started the process of searching for an automated refracting system I didn’t know the importance of integration with EMR. I purchased my first system before EMR was popular. Now that I have been teaching others how to use EMR and have had 7 years of experience with integration of equipment I can truly appreciate the seamless integration of the Marco system. More than 50 mouse clicks are eliminated by this seamless integration and just the push of one button. The time saved in the exam room is priceless.

I have had many challenges with instrument vendors over my 20 years of practice so I have developed a keen, personal sensitivity for service and support. With Marco I have enjoyed an exceptional experience from the initial sales process to implementation and ongoing service. During installation of our TRS there was no disruption fo workflow of my practice and training was performed to accommodate our schedule in an efficient manner. The professionalism of the area manager was evident in every way with individualized attention to every staff member's needs. 

We did a study in our office looking at just those capabilities with the OPD III.  We wanted to see how well it could help us line up aspheric lens, addressing issues with angle kappa and more importantly angle-alpha and making sure it’s an appropriate alignment. Not only is the machine unbelievably accurate at identifying corneal spheric aberration, but it’s also accurate in quantifying the total ocular spherical aberrations, and that’s the bigger issue.

I use the uncorrected/corrected beach scenes to show parents how their children see versus how they should see. I use the retroillumination views to demonstrate to people who have cataracts why they’re having trouble with their vision and how surgery will help. Pretty much anything refractive that I would need to discuss with a patient can be done using the array of OPD maps and the examination room viewing software of the XFRACTION process.
