Funds raised towards this project will buy an Ophthalmology Optos Machine. This would be used in multiple clinics every week by the Ophthalmology technician team. An optos camera is used for patients with medical retina including diabetic retinopathy, choroidal nevus, and stable melanomas. The camera would allow technicians to take photographs of the patient’s eye in a single appointment and the patient would then be able to return home. Consultants would be able to review double the number of patients and therefore reduce waiting times and backlog. The equipment would benefit over 1,200 patients a year, as well as further patients by contributing to the research body.
