Southern Eye Associates installing EyeRoute® Image Management System

Southern Eye Associates has installed Topcon’s Eye Route® Image Management System in order to provide better medical care for their patients and improve efficiency.  The Eye Route System is the latest technology for viewing and organizing sophisticated images of patients’ eyes.  It integrates images from all types of eye care instruments into a single, secure digital environment that is integrated with Southern Eye’s electronic medical records.   “The system not only provides better patient care but also eliminates the need to print clinical eye images……we use less paper and ink which helps the environment.  The system is also used in a recently implemented telemedicine program for detecting diabetic retinopathy.” said Dr. Kurt Heitman, M.D. As a patient at Southern Eye, your doctor may show you various digital images of your eyes that are on the EyeRoute system.
