Optovue OCT vs Cirrus OCT https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=525106 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 18:08:40 GMT Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:48:11 GMT Copyright © 2013 Ophthalmic Photographers' Society Optovue OCT vs Cirrus OCT https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=525106 https://www.opsweb.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=525106 Has anyone had the occasion to use both the Cirrus OCT and the Optovue OCT within a retina practice setting, having used both machines on the same patient population. If so, could you please give an opinion on the following question.

I am a newbie as it were to the Optovue OCT. I have found it to provide very good results and it is really pretty easy to use. However, as for a small percentage of the retina patient population, I find it to be really inadequate in comparison to the Cirrus OCT. It seems that in patients with any type of corneal changes, hazy and/or narrow capsules s/p cat.surgery and even some moderate to severe cataract patients, the quality of scan really pales in the comparison. I have had patients with some of these conditions that I could easily get a quality scan of 7's, 8's, and 9's on the Cirrus but I really struggle to get a scan that is of ay use.

 Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Jim
