When I purchased the OPD Scan III (Marco), I realized from the start that I wanted to use this technology on every patient scheduled for cataract surgery. I knew that without the data it provided, I couldn’t accurately and consistently match the IOL to each patient.

The OPD III gives me the data I need to make accurate determinations. Using the OPD III, I perform the following steps: Verify Ks, identify toric candidates, assess angle kappa, measure pupils, review spherical aberration, and evaluate lens requests.

The EPICs offer consistent refractive results, move patients through the practice in less time with greater satisfaction, and even reduce the square footage required in our offices. The time savings we achieve using the EPICs easily translate into greater revenue for the practice. Performing a complete workup manually can take 20 minutes or longer. With the EPIC, everything is done in one room – there’s no need to move patients from machine to machine. Visual acuity testing and refraction happen at once, and results go straight into the EMR system. 

The EPIC provides our practice with a diagnostic tool that helps not only to improve our clinical outcomes, but also improves our patient flow and overall efficiency. It’s an investment we feel easily pays for itself. Patient wait times have been reduced, we’re seeing more patients than before and we’re performing more surgery than we did in the past.
