Optos plc (Dunfermline, Scotland) won 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the microperimetry functions on its OptosOCT SLO system. Microperimetry is a technique that analyzes retina’s sensitivity to light and the system superimposes that over OCT (optical coherence tomography) imaging to provide a map of the correlation between physical structures and visual function of the eye.
The OptosOCT SLO is the first system to combine both OCT and microperimetry into one system. Its on-board SLO eye tracking feature adjusts for involuntary eye movements, allowing for fast imaging and coupling of the data.
