Why eyecare professionals use Retina IQ
- Expert second opinion: Retina IQ provides review by an expert retina team for added confidence.
- Confidence in normal reads: Supports reassurance when imaging appears normal.
- Additional consideration when subtle findings exist: Prompts review of images that seem normal but may contain abnormal observations.
- Confidence in abnormal interpretations: Helps support referral recommendations when discussing findings with the patient.
- Professional control: Reports are sent to the eyecare professional, not directly to the patient.
- Clinical discretion preserved: The eyecare professional decides how to use the information in patient care and communication.
- Ancillary revenue opportunity: Practices may monetize the service by offering an optional expert-opinion review fee.
- Workflow support: Retina IQ can reinforce image-quality standards and help staff improve fundus, OCT, and OCT-A acquisition.
- Referral clarity: Supports more confident triage and referral decisions while preserving the OD/patient relationship.
