Please note that this protocol is only for referrals from Community Optometry to Health Boards.
Wet AMD Fundus Images
When attaching a fundus image to this referral please bear in mind the following points:
- The total size of the attachment file must be less than 2MB.
- The image should ideally be sent in PDF format (or JPEG format if unable to save as a PDF)
- Please ensure each image shows the patient’s name before sending i.e. rename the file if necessary.
Please consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for the particular brand of camera for instructions regarding how to save images in the appropriate format prior to attachment.
Wet AMD OCT Scans
Please note that full OCT files are too large to be sent through SCI Gateway.
CT information must be sent as a screenshot or a report covering the area of retina in question in PDF format (or JPEG format if you are unable to save as a PDF).
The points above also apply to OCT information.
Please consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for your particular brand of OCT scanner for instructions regarding how to save reports/images in the appropriate format prior to attachment.
