Optometry Today  focuses on… OCT and imaging – OT Hit List

Zeiss has highlighted an update to the Cirrus 6000 HD-optical coherence tomography (OCT) device, with new advanced features designed to enhance practice workflow.

The platform has seven new workflow pre-sets to help simplify workflow and auto-loading of preferred analyses, while OCT cube scans can be captured in 0.4 seconds, and new 21-point fixation targets also provide greater control of patient fixation, Zeiss suggested.

The device offers an expanded field of view, high-resolution scans up to 12mm wide and 2.9mm deep, which the company said supports the recognition of subtle abnormalities to identify disease stages.

A new wellness exam provides a wide-field OCT assessment of the optic nerve head and macular, and can be used as a tool for patient education and improving compliance.
