See the Difference with Topcon's Maestro2 OCT: Innovating Eye Care
by Alex Elson, OD, FSLS
In the ever-evolving world of eye care, staying ahead with cutting-edge technology is not just an advantage; it's essential. Dr. Alex Elson, a California-based optometrist and owner of two practices in Tustin and Yorba Linda, shares why he invested in Topcon’s Maestro2 OCT Fundus Camera.
“With the Maestro2, one of the most significant breakthroughs we've experienced is our ability to uncover conditions that previously went unnoticed when using our old equipment. The superior resolution and wide-field OCT technology of Maestro2 have enabled us to see areas beyond the macula, reaching as far as the arcades and nasal to the optic nerve. Conditions like retinoschisis, which were mostly invisible to us before, may be detectable in a single scan. This advancement in diagnostic imaging ensures that we can offer better care to our patients, catching potentially serious eye conditions early.”
“Other factors that were crucial in the decision-making process were Maestro2’s exceptional user-friendliness and the flexibility to position it anywhere in our space — a critical feature in California's pricey real estate market. The device's impressive resolution and wide-field OCT capability have also been instrumental in enhancing patient education. By displaying detailed images directly from the OCT B-scan and the retina photo, it becomes much simpler for patients to grasp what we're examining and be part of the eye exam process. With advanced technology like Maestro2, we ensure our patients receive the best possible care at our practice.”
