I think just like for surgery, we are looking for better and better microscopes to see things we never saw before to make our surgeries better.  The OPD technology is letting us understand things like angle kappa, things like planning spherical asphercity, or correct placement of the lens is amazing with this technology and also you can after surgery document that you did the thing you planned for so you can actually see where the toric lens is sitting.  This also becomes great for previous refractive surgery patients or unhappy patients.  “My doctor did great surgery but I don’t see great” - here is your cause and here is the direction we need to take.  So the patient and doctor become a team. 

The quick lens comparison is nice, but the big thing for me is how much easier exams are on my body now.  The ergonomic designs has alleviated much of the aches and shoulder pains as compared to the manual refractor.

Our revenue per patient has risen. In part, that’s because the technology allows me to show people the changes in the Rx with a push of a button. Now I can say, "Here’s what you came in with, and here’s what I can do for you today." When I had to hold lenses over their eyeglasses, it was much more difficult to show how even minor shifts could have an impact on their overall vision.

The AFC-330 has become one of the most important pieces of equipment in my practice. It is something I don't know how I have practiced without. The speed, true automation and minimal reliance on a technician to perform internal, and even external photos, makes the AFC-330 retinal camera the perfect fit for my busy practice. The included Navis-EX software integrates with our EHR software which makes taking, analyzing, storing and retrieving images as simple as possible. The sales and support staff at Marco are stellar. I highly recommend the Marco AFC-330.
