Australia’s morning television viewers have been given a glimpse into how diagnosing and monitoring of eye health works.
Earlier this week, on World Optometry Day 2025, Channel 9’s Today Show featured a special segment with 1001 Optical, showcasing the “groundbreaking” NIDEK DUO2 OCT in collaboration with Designs For Vision (DFV), part of ParagonCare.
A media release said the advanced imaging system was “revolutionising optometry by providing precise, high-quality images essential for diagnosing and monitoring eye health”.
It said the NIDEK DUO2 OCT imaging system was designed to provide optometrists with rapid, high-quality retinal and optic nerve imaging, helping to detect and monitor eye conditions with greater confidence.
With deep-learning-powered B-scan denoising and RetinaMap technology, it delivers enhanced clarity and diagnostic efficiency while minimising patient movement artifacts. The system also features a built-in 12-megapixel fundus camera, enabling detailed imaging for improved clinical decision-making.
“Early and accurate detection of retinal and optic nerve conditions is essential in modern optometry,” said Ms Marnie Bateman, general manager of non-acute sales at DFV and ParagonCare.
“The NIDEK DUO2 OCT is an important tool that helps optometrists provide high-quality patient care through advanced imaging capabilities.
“We are thrilled to see this technology showcased on a national platform.”
The release said that, as a “trusted distributor of NIDEK technology in Australia”, ParagonCare | DFV was committed to equipping optometry and ophthalmology professionals with state-of-the-art solutions that streamline clinical workflows and improve patient care outcomes.
