Baxter International has launched a digital image capture feature for eye exams through its Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope. The iExaminer Pro System enhances routine eye examinations, empowering healthcare professionals to more effectively assess and diagnose patients' eye health.

“Healthcare settings have never been more demanding, and clinicians need their tools to offer improved efficiency and accuracy that ultimately allows earlier care for patients,” Jim O’Connell, president, Front Line Care, Baxter, said in a company news release. “The iExaminer Pro System uses the latest tech, allowing providers to spend more time focusing on the thing that matters most–their patients.”

The PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope with the iExaminer Pro System is crafted to facilitate the connection of a smart device for image capture, streamlining the transition from optical exams to digital image collection.
