Six modalities show the whole story.

Optos demonstrates the value of California

Traditional fundus photography typically shows you one view. optomap® gives you six.

With a single-shot 200° ultra-widefield image – no dilation, no montage, no injection – the Optos California* delivers six distinct imaging modalities, each providing clinically relevant and complementary insights:

1. Colour rg enhances visibility of deeper pathology like hemorrhages1, pigment changes2, inflammation

2. Colour rgb accentuates surface level detail like disc cupping, ERM, cotton wool spots1,3

3. Sensory retina supports visibility of nerve fiber and retinal vascular changes

4. Choroid visualises deeper vascular abnormalities beneath the RPE

5. Green autofluorescence reveals RPE dysfunction in AMD, CSCR, and inherited disease

6. Blue autofluorescence highlights subtle photoreceptor and RPE damage in GA and toxicity

Clinically proven, optomap is the only technology of its kind, backed by over 3,500 peer-reviewed studies and supports detection and monitoring across 300+ retinal and systemic conditions

With California, Optos has incorporated new technology enabling practitioners to see more, discover more, and eﬀectively treat more ocular pathology thus promoting patient health. In addition to a field of view of 200 degrees or 82% of retina in a single image capture, California, offers the following benefits:

Visibility of 50% more of the retina when compared to other conventional imaging devices

Motorized head and chin rest to more easily align those patients who require additional assistance during imaging

Multiple imaging modalities including color rg which produces three images in a single capture (color rg, sensory red-free, and choroidal in a single image) and introducing color rgb which produces four images in a single capture (color rg, color rgb, sensory red-free, and choroidal) and autofluorescence (both green and blue*) (*Feature may not be available in all regions)

Dye-based imaging modalities fa and icg as well as interweaved angiography for parallel capture of fa and icg images without manually switching between imaging modalities

California is available in various device configurations and image modality options for the flexibility to meet the needs and budget of every eyecare practice. Imaging modalities and viewing options are detailed below.
