This is a very useful device: The magnifying glass with blue light together with fluorescein staining is useful in acute cases to rule out corneal lesions. The magnifying glass is useful for evaluation of the back side of the eyelids for MGD. The attached funnel for otoscope works very fine. The other end of the stick contains an ophthalmoscope and as shown on the add with the model, the light beam is about 4 cm wide at 4 cm distance. At a minimum clinical distance about 1 cm from the eye the illumination light is 1.5 cm wide, This is much larger than the maximal pupil size, hence the contrast of the fundus background is severely diminished by reflected light from the iris and sclera making small details invisible. In patients with cataract it is absolutely useless. It lacks the features of apertures in a professional ophthalmoscope to change the size and location of the illumination light. In the next generation the width of the illumination beam should be decreased.
We trialled the arclight in a remote area of tropical Nigeria with grassroots primary care where we work. Spoilt batteries and blown bulbs are a constant hassle and the Arclight was so easy to use, simple to teach with very helpful instructions such that all our team of healthcare workers can use. The use of photos via camera allows specialist advice and it seems very robust and the solar charge /LED is spot on for humid remote regions. Great piece of kit and very good price.
Very smart and portable piece of device. Love it!
Does everything I need as an NHS GP- no need for an expensive bulky otoscope/ophthalmoscope!
I like the light , sleek , compact size and it multiple light functions . I mainly use it for otoscopy and it works well , I can see the structures very clearly . The only downside for me is the non- disposable specula . Personally I would prefer single use disposable specula mainly for hygiene and convenience reasons .I understand that the aim is to make them economically efficient but it would be good if they can produce both disposable and non -disposable options for clients to choose from.
