Optical Coherence Tomography

essential to diagnosis

cirrus5000 At Berwick Eye Centre we have installed the most powerful OCT machine available : the CIRRUS 5000 OCT and OCTA.

It allows the finest resolution or retinal, and anterior segment data and is also capable of OCT angiography,(OCTA)

OCTA is the gold standard to detect early diabetic retinopathy and has a role in many retinal vascular disorders.

The Cirrus 5000 is the best way to track glaucoma and macular degeneration to avoid over and under treatment. It also is capable of checking structures on the front of the eye to evaluate narrowed anterior chamber angles and the need for preventative laser iridotomy.

CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000

The Zeiss CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000 integrates a wide array of features that help detect and analyze a variety of eye conditions, such as glaucoma and retinal disease, within a single system. With its high resolution and consistent repetitive scans, this diagnostic tool provides clear, detailed images of the eye, including the optic nerve, retinal nerve fiber around the optic nerve, peripapillary optic nerve, lens, anterior chamber angle, cornea and the macula. It is the first retinal OCT capable of providing anterior chamber and corneal imaging. This makes it possible to catch eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular edema, at an earlier stage so treatments can be started sooner and followed more effectively.

We been using the CIRRUS at in our practice for 10 years and it's been exciting to see how this technology has advanced in that time. While I considered a number of OCT devices, I chose the CIRRUS because of its outstanding patient normative database and remarkable ability to easily provide detailed information of the entire eye including the macula, cornea, lens and optic nerve.

RICH VISUAL DETAIL

It's pretty incredible how we can now look at the eye with a level of detail we never had before. Since this OCT gives me exponentially greater amounts of data, I can detect diseases at very early stages—which is especially beneficial in borderline cases.

As a cataract surgeon, I really like to look at the macula and retina, especially if I'm considering using a premium intraocular lens, to make sure I'm going to meet the patient's visual expectations.

If the patient is a diabetic, it's prudent to make sure that they don't have any macular edema. Sometimes these findings can be very subtle and CIRRUS is a really big help detecting it. Also, when you're examining patients, it's sometimes difficult to see previous LASIK flaps, but with CIRRUS you're able to pick that up very easily.
