Epipole Ltd, based in Scotland, is an ethical designer and innovator of medical optical equipment that is focussed on the affordable eradication of preventable blindness. Its hand-held epiCam digital retinal fundus camera provides a low-cost solution to examine, record & store images of the internal structure of the eye – particularly for patients with diabetes where the early detection and treatment of a condition known as diabetic retinopathy can prevent the onset of blindness and other vision complications. As a low-cost instrument the epiCam is particularly attractive for countries which cannot afford the considerably more expensive desk-top systems produced by traditional manufacturers. The instrument not only facilitates high quality diabetic retinopathy screening for all budgets but its video functionality and wide dioptric range also allow examination for other ophthalmic conditions too.
