Performance OCT — faster, wider, with a new level of detail

ZEISS CIRRUS 6000 empowers clinicians with a larger field of view in a single scan, and captures high-definition OCT/OCTA scans that reveal finer details of the retinal microvasculature − all of which provides more insight into the patient’s condition in less time.

Proven analytics: CIRRUS-powered treatment decisions

As the pioneering OCT technology, the CIRRUS platform offers clinicians extensive, clinically-validated applications for retina, glaucoma and anterior segment. The result: precise analysis, faster throughput and smarter decision-making across a wide spectrum of clinical conditions and patient types.

Retina

Macular Change Analysis The CIRRUS data cube automatically stores and delivers each patient’s historical data to provide a variety of change assessments, including macular thickness change maps that help you understand your patient‘s response to treatment. Because every CIRRUS cube is tracked and registered to OCT scans from prior visits using CIRRUS’ FastTrac™ Retinal Tracking Technology, you can confidently measure point-to-point changes in macular thickness.
