Abstract
Because many retinal diseases manifest with peripheral abnormality, there has been an ever-increasing pressure to better image the retinal periphery. Ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography (UWFA), first described in 2004 by Friberg and Forrester for the Optos Imaging system, not only captures a wide field of retina at once, allowing visualization of many different areas of the retina at the same timepoint during angiography and reducing the amount of patient cooperation and technical expertise required for photography, but also visualizes the peripheral retina that was previously not photographed [1, 2]. Several imaging systems have been developed that provide a wide-field view of the retina. These include the Pomerantzeff camera [3], the Retcam (Clarity Medical Systems, Inc, Pleasanton, CA), the Panoret-1000 camera (Medibell Medical Vision Technologies, Haifa, Israel), the Optos camera (Optos PLC, Dunfermline, UK), the Staurenghi lens (Ocular Staurenghi 230 SLO Retina Lens; Ocular Instruments Inc, Bellevue, WA), and other wide-angle contact lenses [4–7].
