SLO systems are superior to conventional fundus cameras in many ways, as they exploit a confocal imaging principle which limits the effect of backscattered light from deeper layers and provides enhanced image quality. Another major advantage of SLO systems is that they operate with much smaller pupils than conventional fundus cameras.

Eidon, being a confocal optical system, is able to perform high quality retinal images: increased  sharpness, better optical resolution and greater contrast when compared to traditional fundus camera imaging.
This technology captures retinal images of preserved quality even in cases of media opacity.
