Cirrus 500 - The Esssential OCT
As the world’s leading OCT innovator, ZEISS has been at the forefront of industry-defining advancements that have made OCT standard of care. Today, that leadership continues with new clinical assessment tools for CIRRUS 5000 and 500.
NEW PanoMap Analysis Wide-field structural damage assessment for glaucoma
NEW Anterior Segment Premier Module from ZEISS The first retinal OCT with full anterior chamber image
NEW OCT Goniometry A non-contact method to help identify patients at risk of angle closure glaucoma
NEW Smart HD Scan Patterns Targeted visualizations of critical anatomy
NEW Layer by Layer En Face Views Reveal what lies beneath the surface
Each of our Cirrus 500 OCTs utilize the FastTrac retinal tracking system, which provides the highest precision when analyzing macular thickness and determining signs for macular degeneration.
An Optical Coherence Tomography scan (commonly referred to as an OCT scan) is the latest advancement in imaging technology. Similar to ultrasound, this diagnostic technique employs light rather than sound waves to achieve higher resolution pictures of the structural layers of the back of the eye.
A scanning laser used to analyze the layers of the retina and optic nerve for any signs of eye disease, similar to an CT scan of the eye. It works using light without radiation, and is essential for early diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinal disease.
With an OCT scan, doctors are provided with color-coded, cross-sectional images of the retina. These detailed images are revolutionizing early detection and treatment of eye conditions such as wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.
An OCT scan is a noninvasive, painless test. It is performed in about 10 minutes right in our office. Feel free to contact our office to inquire about an OCT at your next appointment.
