documentation of your clinical observations, and the medical necessity of the procedures performed.
Many clinicians believe over 80% of diagnoses come from the history and physical assessment of the patientThere will be increasing pressure on physicians to pay close attention to the high cost of healthcare, and payers will insist on well-documented evidence that advanced care or testing is required. Although great advances have been made in medicine, approximately 80% of your diagnoses will still come from basic history and physical assessment.

Revolutionary technology for a difference you can see 3.5 V PanOptic™ OphthalmoscopeThe fundamental challenge in ophthalmoscopy is to get a good view of the fundus in order to make a sufficient assessment. Let the Welch Allyn PanOptic Ophthalmoscope help you meet this challenge.

What is the ophthalmoscope and what can be seen with it? The ophthalmoscope is used to view the Why ophthalmoscopy is an important diagnostic skill back of the eye, commonly called the fun-dus.

Systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension leave footprints in the retina and aid the practitioner in the evaluation of these and many other diseases.
Innovative Axial PointSource™ Optics c The practitioner is actually viewing the fundus through the mirror that directs illumination into the eye, maximizing the alignment of the viewing axis with the illuminated areas.
How it worksa. Converges the illumination to a point at the patient's cornea, allowing easy entry into small pupils b. Then diverges the illumination pathway to the patient's retina, illuminating a very wide area of the fundus c. Simultaneously enables the practitioner to view the illuminated area on virtually the same axis, creating the widest field of view attainable Traditional quality, reliability 3.5 V Coaxial Ophthalmoscope Welch Allyn Coaxial Ophthalmoscopes provide benefits over standard ophthalmoscopes including easier entry into the eye, a larger field of view, reduced glare, and bright, long-lasting LED light.
