(THE 1ST IN LONDON)
Have your eyes checked with the world’s fastest scanning speed machine (100,00 A-scans/second)
At the Medirex Opticians practice, we can provide Eye tests with the latest technology in the market for a greater clinical efficiency.
The new OCT scan machine gives us the ability to track any changes in your eyes over time. One single scan can capture comprehensive data that is crucial for an accurate diagnosis, and it can detect potentially serious conditions that can affect your eyesight and your overall health.
What is OCT?
OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography – is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages, with no need for drops that cause long waits. Similar to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to image the different layers that make up the structures at the front and the back of your eye. The OCT machine captures both a photograph and a cross-sectional scan of the eye at the same time.
What can the scan check for?
Age-related macular degeneration
Neovascularisation in Diabetes
Glaucoma
Vitreous Detachments
Macular Holes
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
High penetration of the Swept Source light
This will allow to clearly visualize deep layers in the eye, such as choroid and sclera. As well as visualize both the vitreous and choroid in a single scan, that are uniformly clear and noise-free. This eliminates the need for time consuming vitreous/choroidal combination scans.
Crystal and Clear
In one single image the vitreous & choroid are revealed in a crystal clear way. The Topcon DRI OCT Triton automatically detects 7 boundaries including the chorio-scleral interface, and the 12mm B-scan covers both the macular area and the optic disc.
Noise free & Invisible scan lines
The OCT machine makes no noise and the invisible 1,050nm wavelength does not distract patients, because they can not see the scanning line, which is an advantage with elderly patients and children.
Time efficiency – create one single overview
Combination scans are time efficient for the operator and convenient for the patient, because they allow both macular and disc analysis in one overview.
Multi modal fundus imaging
The Topcon DRI OCT Triton offers a true colour, non-mydriatic fundus image while using a very low intensity flash. This unique feature is a perfect tool for identifying the location of scans in the eye utilizing TOPCON’s patented Pinpoint RegistrationTM. The DRI OCT Triton Plus offers a wide range of diagnostic options with multi-modal color fundus imaging, Fluorescein Angiography (FA) and Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) for even more diagnostic possibilities. For the first time Pinpoint registrationTM will be available with fundus auto fluorescence and Swept Source OCT.
New tracking system – SMARTTrackTM
SMARTTrackTM is a very useful tool to compensate for the ever present involuntary eye movements (microsaccades). It allows the automatic acquisition of a follow-up scan in precisely the same anatomical location. SMARTTrackTMenhances the user-friendliness of the machine.
Anterior segment analysis
The Topcon DRI OCT Triton can be extended to include anterior imaging, making the Swept Source a versatile diagnosis tool for both anterior and posterior imaging. The anterior attachment ensures sharp images, even in the periphery of the cornea and in depth images of the anterior chamber.
