Walmart Partners With CenterVue USA at American Diabetes Assoc EXPO 2011
Optometrists Use CenterVue DRS to Provide Fast and Accurate Vision Screening
(firmenpresse) - SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/20/11 -- CenterVue USA announced today that it was privileged to partner with Walmart's Health & Wellness team at the recent American Diabetes Association EXPO in Minneapolis, MN. A group of Independent Optometrists affiliated with Walmart, provided free vision screenings to more than 900 members of the community as part of the broader diabetic screening services offered by Walmart at the EXPO.
"CenterVue's DRS is an excellent screening instrument in a Walmart Vision Center. Our affiliated optometrists appreciate how quickly they can achieve a high quality image with the DRS because it focuses automatically and requires no hands-on support," said Dr. Chad Overman, Director of Professional Relations Health & Wellness for Walmart Stores, Inc.
Walmart operates more than 2500 vision centers within its North American stores, where an independent network of optometrists provide regular preventive screenings and vision care for Walmart customers.
CenterVue was founded in 2008 with the support of M31, an Italian venture incubator with operations in Silicon Valley. CenterVue develops diagnostic systems for the early detection of sight-threatening pathologies, such as Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Degeneration, with innovative devices that are highly automated, affordable, and web enabled. The company's first product, the MAIA, is a new generation microperimetry that provides the market's only functional macular assessment, especially beneficial for accelerating intervention in patients suffering from age-related AMD (Advanced Macular Degeneration); the DRS, (FDA approved in 2010), is a non-mydriatic fundus camera that is markedly easier to operate and more cost effective than other cameras.
