-31 January 2025, Gamagori, JAPAN-
NIDEK CO., LTD. is pleased to report that more than 5,000 people living with diabetes have been screened for diabetic retinopathy using the combined functionalities of Cybersight AI by Orbis International and the NIDEK fundus cameras. In July 2024, Orbis launched an AI-assisted diabetic retinopathy screening project in Vietnam supported by a donation of six fundus cameras (AFC-330) from NIDEK.
This project will help address the growing prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Vietnam. Early diagnosis is critical for preventing permanent vision loss or blindness. To raise public awareness of diabetic retinopathy and the importance of early detection, Orbis created a video featuring this project. It is our great pleasure to assist in this project by contributing products that help prevent vision loss and save sight. We thank the Orbis and Vietnam teams for giving us this great opportunity to support this project.
For NIDEK, this initiative is consistent with our SDGs Declaration, as we dedicate ourselves to continually improving eye care worldwide.
