About us

When a five-year-old boy was blinded after a regular eye exam failed to spot a retinal detachment, his father made it his life’s work to help eye care professionals by revolutionising retinal imaging. Optos was founded by Douglas Anderson with the goal to make a patient-friendly device to capture a digital ultra-widefield image of the retina. Today, millions of patients around the world have benefited from optomap® retinal imaging. You will find optomap systems in many independent High Street optometrists, as well as eye clinics at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and Harvard Medical Center in Massachusetts. Our core products produce high resolution optomap images of 82% or 200◦ of the retina, something no other imaging device is capable of in a single comfortable capture. The most recent innovation from Optos integrates ultra-widefield retinal imaging and image-guided Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This combined device facilitates the early detection, management and effective treatment of disorders and diseases evidenced in the retina such as retinal detachments and tears, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. More than 1,000 published and ongoing clinical trials as well as thousands of case studies and testimonials show the long-term value of optomap imaging and OCT in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient engagement. As a division of Nikon Co. Ltd, Japan since 2015, Optos is approaching its 30th anniversary and proud to be recognized as a leading provider of devices to eye care professionals to provide a more complete approach to patient care.

    With three full time doctors in practice, Melanie Langford, OD is able to continually grow her business by utilizing a technology that aids in clinical decision making and demonstrates continued commitment to her patients. After recently upgrading to the Monaco, combining optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging with SD-OCT, the multimodal imaging capabilities from one piece of equipment allows for more diagnostic data, and according to Dr. Langford, a more thorough ocular examination. With more than 25,000 devices installed globally, Optos aims to set the standard for eye examinations that deliver the best care for patients.

By raising awareness of eye health conditions and encouraging early detection and treatment, we can help reduce the severity of vision loss and preserve healthy vision.

    It is with profound sadness that we learn of the sudden passing of Professor Ramin Tadayoni, a distinguished leader in the field of ophthalmology and a dear friend to many.   A visionary in retinal research and the President of the European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA), Professor Tadayoni served as head of the ophthalmology departments at Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild, and Lariboisière Hospital, and was a Professor at the University of Paris. His contribution to our industry and his dedication to his field were truly remarkable.   He had great plans for the future, including the recent inauguration of the Institut Français de la Myopie, aiming to enhance specialized care and spearhead clinical research in myopia. At Optos, we had the honor of collaborating with him and he contributed to our educational webinars and lectures over the years.    Described as a mentor and a compassionate individual, his warmth and kindness touched the lives of everyone he met - from patients to peers and students. Known for his humility and commitment to education, his legacy will continue to inspire and influence generations to come.   We extend our deepest condolences to his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him. In the coming months, we will celebrate and reflect on his remarkable impact. For now, we grieve the loss of a true pioneer in ophthalmology, whose vision and dedication profoundly enriched our community.
