Description
The Canon CR-1 Digital Retinal Camera epitomizes state-of-the-art Mon-Mydriatic imaging technology with dramatically reduced brightness, improved overall comfort, and significantly shorter exams. For patients having Non-Mydriatic retinal exams, the bright flash can be unpleasant. The Canon CR-1 Mark II focuses on reducing patient stress to provide comfortable retinal exams by significantly reducing the flash intensity. Because retinal exams play an important role in screening for major illnesses, the ease of examining provided by the Canon CR-1 supports overall healthcare for people.
Efficiency of Non-Mydriatic retinal exams heavily depends on a patient’s darkness adaptation period. The low flash intensity of Canon CR-1 minimizes miosis, thus shortening the time required for taking multiple Images such as binocular, stereo and multi field work. The reduced brightness of the Canon CR-1 induces more patient compliance, leading to speedy and accurate exams for high throughput screening.
Canon’s expertise in the field of imaging technology supports the Canon CR-1 exceptional digital retinal imaging capabilities. The Canon CR-1 offers high-resolution diagnostic images of the retina, which are extremely detailed and clear, a necessity to effectively detect and monitor ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
The Canon CR-1 has an ergonomic design to simplify operation for the user. A one-hand joystick re-positions the camera to the exact view desired. The illuminated operation panel of the CR-1, featuring easy-to-understand control options, has been designed for quick adjustment and selection of the necessary settings. A short reaching distance between the patient and operator allows closer personal interaction and easy access to the patient’s eyes.
The Canon CR-1 features an adjustable motorized chin rest, forehead guard, and front protection cover perfectly situate the patient securely in position for the exam while ensuring their safety during operation. The Canon CR-1 also features an optional external fixation target.
When using the Canon CR-1, two simple steps are all it takes to capture a clear image. Step 1 is the aligning of two halves of a split pupil image, followed in Step 2 by the adjustment of split lines and working distance dots in the retinal display. This ensures that the correct focus and working distance are achieved for the sharpest images possible.

High-Quality Retinal Imaging
Canon’s expertise in the field of imaging technology supports CR-1 exceptional digital retinal imaging capabilities. High-resolution diagnostic images of the retina are extremely detailed and clear, a necessity to effectively detect and monitor ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
45-degree Angle of View
The CR-1 Mark II features an optical system that achieves high-resolution diagnostic images at a 45° angle of view suitable for health check-ups and screening.
2X Digital Magnification available with use of Canon Software “RICS”
When using the Canon Software RICS “2X” mode provides a magnified view of the retina for viewing the details of the region of interest. Sharp images are made possible by the attached EOS digital SLR camera’s high pixel count.
Ergonomic Controls
CR-1 Mark II has an ergonomic design to simplify operation for the user. A one-hand joystick re-positions the camera to the exact view desired. The illuminated operation panel, featuring easy-to-understand control options, has been designed for quick adjustment and selection of the necessary settings.
