The Canon CR-1 Mark II Digital Retinal Camera epitomizes state-of-the-art Mon-Mydriatic imaging technology with dramatically reduced brightness, improved overall comfort, and significantly shorter exams. For patients having Non-Mydriatic retinal exams, the bright flash can be unpleasant. The Canon CR-1 Mark II focuses on reducing patient stress to provide comfortable retinal exams by significantly reducing the flash intensity. Because retinal exams play an important role in screening for major illnesses, the ease of examining provided by the Canon CR-1 Mark II supports overall healthcare for people.

Efficiency of Non-Mydriatic retinal exams heavily depends on a patient’s darkness adaptation period. The low flash intensity of Canon CR-1 Mark II minimizes miosis, thus shortening the time required for taking multiple pictures such as binocular and stereo images. The reduced brightness of the Canon CR-1 induces more patient compliance, leading to speedy and accurate exams for high throughput screening.

Canon’s expertise in the field of imaging technology supports the Canon CR-1 Mark II’s exceptional digital retinal imaging capabilities. The Canon CR-1 offers high-resolution diagnostic images of the retina, which are extremely detailed and clear, a necessity to effectively detect and monitor ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

The Canon CR-1 has an ergonomic design to simplify operation for the user. A one-hand joystick repositions the camera to the exact view desired. The illuminated operation panel of the CR-1, featuring easy-to-understand control options, has been designed for quick adjustment and selection of the necessary settings. A short reaching distance between the patient and operator allows closer personal interaction and easy access to the patient’s eyes.

The Canon CR-1 features an adjustable motorized chin rest, forehead guard, and front protection cover perfectly situate the patient securely in position for the exam while ensuring their safety during operation. The Canon CR-1 also features an optional external fixation target.

When using the Canon CR-1 Mark II, two simple steps are all it takes to capture a clear image. Step 1 is the aligning of two halves of a split pupil image, followed in Step 2 by the adjustment of split lines and working distance dots in the retinal display. This ensures that the correct focus and working distance are achieved for the sharpest images possible.
