Optovue iScan 80
The iScan 80 is the OCT that runs itself. It finds the eye, aligns over the pupil, optimizes the signal and then talks the patient through the whole exam in any of twelve languages, which means the quality of the scan stops depending on which technician is working that day. At 80,000 A-scans per second it is three times faster than the original iScan. Everything lives in one console that mounts on any tabletop and moves from room to room, so it suits a satellite office as readily as a main lane.
What it does
- 80,000 A-scans per second, three times faster than the original iScan OCT
- Pupil Alignment Technology detects the eye, aligns over the pupil and optimizes signal
- Voice-guides the patient through the entire exam in any of 12 languages
- Evaluates each scan after acquisition to confirm quality data was captured
- iWellness scan included, on both Essential and Comprehensive configurations
- Comprehensive adds retina mapping, RNFL and GCC trend analyzes, FLV% and GLV%
- High-density 3D retinal imaging and in-depth 3D optic nerve head analysis
- Cornea Advance anterior segment imaging and measurement (Comprehensive)
- Single-console design mounts on any tabletop and moves between rooms
Is it right for your practice?
Best fit
Practices new to OCT, multi-location groups, and any practice where technician experience varies enough to show up in scan quality.
Why consider it
Most OCT frustration is not about the instrument's ceiling, it is about retakes. The iScan 80 handles detection, alignment and signal optimization itself and then checks the captured scan, so results depend less on which technician is running it. One console holds the operator interface, display, patient interface and scan head, and mounts on any tabletop.
What to compare
It comes in two configurations. Essential covers iWellness plus basic retina and glaucoma scans, which suits a first OCT. Comprehensive adds retina mapping, RNFL and GCC trend analysis, FLV%/GLV%, high-density 3D retinal imaging, 3D optic nerve head analysis and Cornea Advance. Buying Essential when you needed Comprehensive means upgrading twice. Confirm the clinical configuration now.
Ask me about
Which configuration matches what you are planning to do clinically, and how iWellness works as a program. Visionix positions it outside the medically billable scans, which is what lets practices build a wellness offering around it.
