Description
Optos California Retinal Imaging System
Advanced Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging for Comprehensive Ophthalmic Diagnostics
The Optos California Retinal Imaging System is a premium ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal imaging platform engineered to deliver fast, high-resolution visualization of the retina with exceptional clinical efficiency. Utilizing Optos scanning laser ophthalmoscopy technology, the system captures up to approximately 200 degrees of the retina in a single image, enabling eye care professionals to assess both the central and peripheral retina during one examination.
Designed for modern ophthalmology practices, retina specialists, hospitals, and academic institutions, the Optos California combines ultra-widefield imaging with multimodal diagnostic capabilities, including color imaging, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), red-free imaging, and choroidal imaging. These imaging modalities help clinicians detect, diagnose, document, and monitor a wide range of retinal diseases with greater confidence.
Its non-contact, patient-friendly design minimizes examination time while improving workflow efficiency. In many patients, high-quality retinal images can be obtained without pharmacologic pupil dilation, making the examination more comfortable and convenient.
Why Choose the Optos California Retinal Imaging System?
Retinal disorders often develop beyond the posterior pole, making conventional fundus photography insufficient for comprehensive retinal evaluation. The Optos California expands retinal visualization by capturing a significantly larger retinal field in a single acquisition, supporting earlier disease detection and more accurate long-term monitoring.
Key advantages include:
- Ultra-widefield retinal imaging up to approximately 200°
- Visualization of central and peripheral retina in one image
- Non-contact imaging technology
- Non-mydriatic imaging capability for many patients
- Multiple imaging modalities in one platform
- High-resolution digital retinal imaging
- Fast image acquisition
- Comfortable patient experience
- Efficient clinical workflow
- Advanced image management software
- Longitudinal patient follow-up
Key Features
Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging
The Optos California employs advanced scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) technology to obtain ultra-widefield retinal images with exceptional clarity.
Unlike conventional fundus cameras that typically capture only a limited central retinal field, the Optos California enables clinicians to examine both posterior and peripheral retinal structures in a single capture.
Clinical benefits include:
- Expanded retinal visualization
- Earlier peripheral pathology detection
- Improved retinal documentation
- Better disease monitoring
- Reduced need for image montages
- Enhanced clinical confidence
What it Can Detect
Optomap Images, using the OPTOS Californa, allow doctors to see a full view of the retina and apply different light filters to view various layers of the retina. This allows for quick and more accurate diagnosis of retinal disorders compared to traditional methods. Common eye diseases that can bee detected using the OTPOS California include:
Retinal Disease
Macular degeneration (build-up called drusen in the central vision)
Glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve)
Diabetic retinopathy (leaking or bleeding inside the eyes)
Hypertensive retinopathy (constricted blood vessels or bleeding)
Nevi (freckles)
Melanoma (cancers)
Retinal Condition
Holes
Tears
Retinal degenerations (genetic or age related)
Retinal thinning (lattice)
Retinal Detachment
