The Topcon Maestro2 3D OCT combines anterior and posterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) with a fundus camera.
The Topcon Maestro has been a crucial instrument in our office and here we’ll share our top 4 uses:
Fundus photography
The device is able to capture single frame fundus photos simultaneously while laser scanning.
Fundus photography is still an essential part of today’s clinical practice, from documenting retinal lesions to monitoring glaucomatous optic nerves.
Retina/macula OCT
The ability to assess disorders of the retina and macula via OCT is essential for clinical practice today. The Topcon Maestro’s ability to take a single scan OCT as well as cube raster scans of the macula enhances diagnosis and treatment for retinal pathology. All OCT images are taken simultaneously with a corresponding photograph.
Optic nerve OCT
Having a technique to image and assess the optic nerve is crucial for today’s eye care practitioners. OCT has revolutionized the way we diagnose and treat optic nerve pathology. This provides the clinician a simple way to assess optic nerve structure, as well as the integrity of the retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and ganglion cell layers.
Anterior Segment
Gone are the days of invasive techniques to assess corneal thickness. Anterior segment OCT makes pachymetry measurements simple and easy (and are billable procedures to boot!).
