Description
Optovue RTVue-100 OCT — Refurbished Fourier-Domain OCT with Anterior Segment Module
The Optovue RTVue-100 was among the first high-speed Fourier-domain OCT systems to combine posterior and anterior segment imaging in a single platform — making it one of the most versatile refurbished OCT options available under $15,000. This refurbished Optovue RTVue-100 includes the anterior segment module, enabling retinal thickness mapping, RNFL and optic disc analysis, corneal pachymetry, and anterior chamber depth measurement without switching systems.
Clinical evidence published in the National Library of Medicine confirms that spectral-domain optical coherence tomography provides high-resolution, cross-sectional retinal and anterior segment imaging that has become the standard of care for monitoring glaucoma progression, macular disease, and anterior segment pathology — replacing time-domain OCT across virtually all ophthalmic subspecialties.
What’s Included
- Optovue RTVue-100 OCT main unit
- Anterior segment module
- Patient chin and forehead rest assembly
- Integrated software and workstation
- Monitor, keyboard, and accessories
- Power and data cables
- 6-month Digital Eye Center warranty
Why Practices Choose the Optovue RTVue-100
- Fourier-domain OCT at 26,000 A-scans/second — high-speed acquisition delivers detailed retinal and anterior segment images with minimal motion artifact; a meaningful step up from older time-domain OCT systems
- Anterior segment module included — corneal pachymetry maps, anterior chamber depth, and anterior chamber angle measurement without a separate anterior OCT instrument
- Full posterior segment protocol suite — macular thickness maps, RNFL thickness, optic disc cube, and nerve fiber layer deviation plots for glaucoma and retina workflows
- Glaucoma progression tracking — serial RNFL and optic disc analysis with trend-based change detection for longitudinal glaucoma management
- Retina disease monitoring — quantified macular thickness maps for AMD drusen, diabetic macular edema, epiretinal membrane, and vitreomacular traction
- Single platform replaces two instruments — anterior segment OCT and posterior segment OCT in one system reduces capital cost, exam room footprint, and service contract burden
- Refurbished value with 6-month warranty — full dual-segment OCT capability at significantly lower cost than a new single-segment OCT instrument
Clinical Applications
- Glaucoma detection and monitoring — RNFL thickness maps and optic disc analysis with normative database comparison for glaucoma suspect evaluation and progression tracking
- Macular disease management — retinal thickness quantification for diabetic macular edema treatment planning, AMD monitoring, and epiretinal membrane follow-up
- Corneal pachymetry — central corneal thickness measurement for glaucoma IOP interpretation and LASIK/refractive screening using the anterior segment module
- Anterior chamber assessment — anterior chamber depth and angle measurement for narrow-angle glaucoma evaluation and phakic IOL planning
- Post-surgical monitoring — anterior segment OCT for DSAEK/DMEK graft assessment, corneal wound evaluation, and tube shunt position verification
Who This Is For
- Comprehensive ophthalmology practices — a single refurbished RTVue-100 covers both the macular/glaucoma OCT workflow and corneal anterior segment imaging for a practice’s full clinical needs
- Glaucoma specialists — RNFL and optic disc analysis protocols meet the documentation requirements for glaucoma management and co-management reporting
- Optometry practices expanding into OCT — the RTVue-100 anterior module adds corneal pachymetry to the retinal OCT workflow, enabling contact lens, glaucoma, and macular screening in one instrument
- Practices replacing time-domain OCT — the Fourier-domain RTVue-100 delivers a significant resolution and speed upgrade from older Stratus or Visante platforms
- Budget-conscious practices needing dual-segment imaging — buying one refurbished RTVue-100 with anterior module is substantially more cost-effective than separate posterior and anterior OCT systems
