Ophthalmic Imaging Systems Announces Initial Update on Sales and Distribution of OIS EyeScan

SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwire - April 28, 2010) - Ophthalmic Imaging Systems ("OIS" or "the Company") (OTCBB: OISI), a leading digital imaging and informatics company, today announced that it has fulfilled the initial commercial orders for its OIS EyeScan™ product to customers and distributors since being FDA approved in November, 2009.

Over the past few months, OIS has successfully signed 20 new distribution agreements for the OIS EyeScan and OIS Symphony™ products, including countries such as India, Italy and Argentina, as well as other European, Asian and Latin American countries. Each agreement offers exclusive rights to market the OIS EyeScan within a specified territory, while maintaining certain minimum sales levels. The company will continue to review additional distribution agreement opportunities in order to help drive international sales.

The network of international distribution agreements are in addition to the OIS sales force established throughout the U.S., as well as the sales through OIS' German Subsidiary and Belgium based European sales branch.

"Delivering the initial commercially manufactured OIS EyeScan to customers and distributors is a major milestone in the launch of this revolutionary new imaging device to the market," stated Gil Allon, Chief Executive Officer of OIS. "We have made significant progress in developing an international distribution network that will allow us to quickly build global sales of the OIS EyeScan."

"As the only portable imaging device capable of imaging both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye, we have already experienced strong demand for the OIS EyeScan from eye care professionals world-wide. Looking forward, we expect to continue to make deliveries and focus our efforts on both our sales and manufacturing operations," concluded Mr. Allon.

Powered by OIS WinStation™ Software, and fully integrated with the OIS Symphony Image Management Solution, the OIS EyeScan delivers more functionality than has ever been available in an imaging device. With the ability to capture images from a customized chin rest, from a slit lamp adapter or as a handheld device, the OIS EyeScan is versatile enough to add value to any ophthalmologist's or optometrist's practice.
