COmparison of Clarus and Optos Ultrawide Field Imaging Systems for Geographic Atrophy

Spectralis is a scanning laser ophthalmoscope which uses a blue light excitation wavelength of 488nm and a 500nm barrier filter to produce FAF images. Spectralis images 20-55 degrees of the retina.

Optos is an ultrawide field imaging platform which images up to 200 degrees of the retina. It uses both a green-light excitation wavelength of 532nm and a red-light excitation wavelength of 633nm with an emission filter of greater than 540nm to produce FAF images.

Zeiss Clarus 700 is an ultrawide field imaging system with similar retinal coverage to that of Optos. It uses Broad Line Fundus Imaging to produce blue FAF images at excitation wavelengths of 435-500nm and green FAF images at wavelengths of 500-585nm
