Zeiss Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT with AngioPlex & Premier — Used, Windows 10
The Zeiss Cirrus 5000 is the most capable Cirrus HD-OCT before the Cirrus 6000. At 68,000 A-scans per second, it delivers structural OCT and dye-free OCT angiography in a single instrument — retinal vasculature mapped without fluorescein, without ICG, without the staffing overhead of a dye angiography suite. This used Zeiss Cirrus 5000 includes AngioPlex OCTA (licensed and activated), the full Premier software suite, and a Windows 10 upgrade for long-term OS support and modern network compatibility. The Cirrus normative database is one of the most-cited reference datasets in glaucoma and retina literature, giving you a proven platform that translates directly to clinical decision-making.
A 2023 review published in the National Library of Medicine (Frontiers in Ophthalmology) confirms that OCT angiography is an essential tool for detecting glaucoma and disease progression — reinforcing the clinical value of the AngioPlex module for practices managing both glaucoma and retinal disease.
Why Practices Choose the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 with AngioPlex
- AngioPlex OCTA included and licensed — dye-free retinal angiography maps superficial and deep retinal capillary networks, choriocapillaris, and outer retina flow; no fluorescein, no ICG, no injection suite required
- 68,000 A-scans per second — high-speed acquisition minimizes motion artifact in OCTA and structural OCT; enables larger scan cubes without extending acquisition time
- Premier software suite — full licensed access to Glaucoma Progression Analysis (GPA), macular thickness maps, RNFL/GCC analysis, optic nerve head parameters, and OCTA flow quantification
- Glaucoma Progression Analysis (GPA) — detects statistically significant RNFL thinning between serial scans; generates a progression summary for documentation and clinical reporting
- 5 µm axial resolution at 840 nm — distinguishes individual retinal layers for precise macular pathology characterization and photoreceptor integrity assessment
- Windows 10 integrated workstation — modern OS for DICOM export, hospital network integration, and long-term software support beyond Windows 7 end-of-life
- Established normative database — Cirrus platform normative data is among the most-cited in glaucoma literature; results directly comparable across published studies
Clinical Applications
The Zeiss Cirrus 5000 with AngioPlex handles the full spectrum of posterior segment and glaucoma imaging:
- Glaucoma — RNFL thinning, GCC analysis, optic disc cupping, and GPA progression tracking; OCTA adds capillary dropout detection in peripapillary and macular regions for early structural change
- Diabetic retinopathy — OCTA maps superficial and deep retinal capillary non-perfusion, microaneurysms, and macular ischemia without dye; structural OCT quantifies edema and monitors anti-VEGF response
- Age-related macular degeneration — OCTA detects subclinical CNV flow before fluorescein leakage becomes apparent; OCT tracks drusen volume, pigment epithelial detachments, and geographic atrophy
- Retinal vascular occlusion — OCTA delineates capillary dropout and collateral formation; OCT quantifies macular edema for treatment planning and response monitoring
- Epiretinal membrane and vitreomacular traction — high-resolution structural OCT characterizes membrane extent, tractional configuration, and foveal anatomy for surgical planning
- Myopic degeneration — OCTA detects myopic CNV at earlier stages than dye-based angiography in highly myopic eyes
Who This Is For
- Retina specialists — needing dye-free OCTA for AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and vascular disease monitoring without a dye angiography suite
- Glaucoma specialists — combining structural RNFL/GCC analysis, GPA progression tracking, and microvasculature dropout detection in one platform
- Comprehensive ophthalmologists — single instrument covering retinal screening, glaucoma monitoring, and OCTA across a mixed patient population
- Academic medical centers — Cirrus normative data widely published; platform supports resident training alongside clinical care
- Multi-subspecialty practices — handles retina and glaucoma imaging without switching instruments or platforms
