Top Line: Automeyes Optical Solutions, an emerging technology platform, is launching a beta service for PDq, a new tool that provides a fast and simple way to take patient-fitting values via a digital image.
“PDq is the holy grail of faster, easier fitting since it requires less input from the patient or eyecare professional,” said Kurt Gardner, president and founder of Automeyes Optical Solutions. “This new enhancement allows any patient picture, with the person facing the camera, to be used to take the measurements. The flexibility of this new development has led to positive preliminary testing results. Our next step is to expand this project with the goal of increasing patient care quality, reducing lab breakage, and really propelling the science of eyewear fitting into the 21st century.”
Close Up: PDq is designed to simplify the measurement-taking process. The service requires no frame or other on-face fitting device. The Automeyes website reflects the new features of PDq and other materials showcasing how the technology can be utilized throughout the optical industry will be released in the coming months.

Top Line: First Insight Corporation, developers of MaximEyes EHR and practice management software for eye care professionals, are releasing EyeClinic Imaging, a cloud-based ophthalmic image management system.
Close Up: “EyeClinic Imaging brings all your diagnostic imaging together in the cloud so it’s easy to access from anywhere, anytime. The seamless integration with any EHR, including MaximEyes EHR, helps transform information into new insights to streamline workflow, save time and improve patient care,” said Nitin Rai, First Insight’s president and CEO. “EyeClinic Imaging is the most affordable image management system in the eyecare industry. No VPNs, no plugins and no extra software are needed.”
• Centralize: Consolidate patient images and reports from all your imaging devices—fundus cameras, visual fields, OCTs and more—into one image management system using DICOM and non-DICOM interfaces.
• Access: Quickly access data, images and diagnostic reports 24/7 on any computer or mobile device from anywhere on the cloud, or use as a standalone system.
• Analyze: Compare diagnostic images and reports side-by-side to quickly detect changes, diagnose conditions and annotate images.
• Educate: Enhance exams by sharing your findings on screen, helping patients understand their eye conditions and why certain tests are needed.
“Once the testing is done on a patient, we can easily transfer the images and reports to EyeClinic Imaging and access the results with a single click from the EHR encounter. No more paper reports, scanning and filing. The speed and efficiency have improved my workflow tremendously,” said Jay Henry, OD, MS.
“Viewing images side-by-side helps me detect changes in the appearance of the macula, optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer. It’s a valuable tool to educate patients and explain why tests are necessary,” said Harinderjit Singh, MD.
