What is Spectralis?
The SPECTRALIS® is an ophthalmic imaging platform with an upgradable, modular design. Multimodal imaging options include: OCT, multiple scanning laser fundus imaging modalities, widefield and ultra-widefield, scanning laser angiography and OCT angiography.
What is OCT Spectralis?
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of your retina. By imaging the macula we can see if you have any signs of macular degeneration, macular holes or epi-retinal membrane. …
What is blue autofluorescence?
Blue laser fundus autofluorescence (BL-FAF) imaging enables noninvasive longitudinal en face monitoring of the distribution of lipofuscin in RPE cells and bisretinoids in the photoreceptors.
Is Heidelberg retinal tomography the same as optical coherence tomography?
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) detects damage of only the nerve fibre layer. HRT (Heidelberg Retina Tomography) looks at changes in the topography of the optic nerve – like looking at the erosion of a mountain. OCT and HRT complement each other.
What is perimetry in ophthalmology?
Perimetry is the systematic measurement of visual field function (the total area where objects can be seen in the peripheral vision while the eye is focused on a central point). The two most commonly used types of perimetry are Goldmann kinetic perimetry and threshold static automated perimetry.
What does red on an OCT scan mean?
“Red disease” occurs when an OCT mistakenly identifies an area or eye as abnormal. Here, the thinner RNFL of a high myope doesn’t conform to the limits identified by the normative database and is thus colored red.
