OUR STORY

The Scanoptix team is on a mission to bring smart imaging to eye care.

Ophthalmologists and optometrists seek to provide the best care to their patients and also increase revenues for their practices. Existing retina diagnostic technology that photographs the retina often fails to capture the full 360-degree retinal view, which is critical for early disease detection and diagnosis.

Scanoptix was born out of a vision to provide eye care professionals with better practice efficiency, and to provide patients with an optimal experience.
