The first 360° vision consultation room in the world
As partners aligned in improving lives by improving sight, Essilor Mexico, Essilor Instruments and Salud Digna have introduced innovative technologies to provide patients with comprehensive eye exams at Salud Digna’s clinic in Culiacán, Mexico.
Raising the bar for excellence in eye examinations, the 360° consultation room hosts advanced equipment and protocols that assess eye health with the highest accuracy and in the shortest possible time to determine prescriptions for lenses with maximum precision as well as detect early-stage eye diseases so action can be taken quickly.
Essilor instruments featured in the new room include:
- The WAM 800 – a 7-in-1 automatic instrument for comprehensive eye physiology analysis and vision correction assessment.
- The Vision R 800 – a more accurate phoropter for more precise refraction (at 0.01 D) that makes the procedure easier for the practitioner to determine a fully reliable prescription and provides patients with a more comfortable and immersive experience for higher confidence.
- The Retina 800 – a fully automated, non-mydriatic and high-definition retinal imaging camera combined with Artificial Intelligence algorithms that provides an accurate assessment of the health of the retina and helps detect the most prevalent pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy.
Already praised by local eyecare professionals and patients for its benefits, the new 360°consultation room is set to serve a large part of the Mexican population at no cost to the patient, since eye examinations are free of charge in all Salud Digna clinics to promote general and widespread visual health.
