Topcon launches Omnia device for fully automated pretesting

Topcon Healthcare has introduced the Omnia, a new automated device that performs multiple pretest measurements without requiring a technician to operate it. The all-in-one system conducts autorefraction, keratometry, tonometry, pachymetry, and anterior segment imaging through a guided patient interface. Patients follow on-screen instructions while the device automatically captures measurements and imaging, reducing the need for staff involvement in routine pretesting. The technology aims to improve workflow efficiency in eye care practices by freeing up technicians for other tasks while ensuring consistent, accurate preliminary data. This represents a growing trend toward automation in optometry, potentially helping practices address staffing challenges while maintaining quality patient care and allowing clinical staff to focus on more complex tasks.
