-Imagine Eyes has received regulatory approval to market its cellular-level adaptive optics retinal camera (rtx1) with the CE mark in the European  Union (EU).

The announcement was made at the European Society of Retina Specialists  Congress.

“This is an important event, as it marks the first time that  an instrument specifically designed to image the retina at the cellular scale  has received the CE mark for use by clinical ophthalmologists,” said Nicolas  Chateau, Imagine Eyes chief executive officer. “The [camera] can allow doctors  to visualize their patients’ retinas with a level of detail heretofore  unachievable in the clinic. They will be able to observe many of the cellular  and microvascular structures that can be affected by the diseases that threaten  the vision of millions of people every year.”

The camera is available outside of the EU for use as a research-use-only  device.
