A 79-year-old patient recently visited an optometrist using RetinaLyze System for a routine eye check.

The optometrist noted abnormal findings on both fundus images and OCT scans. Visual acuity: 0.2 in both eyes. To ensure a fast and qualified assessment, they submitted the case via our integrated telemedical workflow for evaluation by an ophthalmologist.

The response came swiftly:

"The patient has wet AMD with active CNV (Choroidal neovascularization) in the left eye, retinal hemorrhages, intraretinal edema, and serous detachment, and must be referred to an ophthalmologist immediately."

Thanks to the seamless integration with the national Danish referral system (DNHF / Henvisningshotellet), a digital referral was sent on the spot, and the patient was advised to go directly to the ophthalmic emergency department.

This is a perfect example of how collaboration between optometrists and ophthalmologists can lead to faster decisions, earlier treatment, and better outcomes for patients.

Huge thanks to the optometrist and the RetinaLyze ophthalmology team for acting swiftly and decisively.
