Carl Zeiss Meditec has launched the Clarus 500 ultra-widefield fundus imaging system, the company announced in a press release.
The Clarus 500 combines true color with high-resolution clarity down to 7 µm in an ultra-widefield view from the macula to the far periphery, the release said.
“Traditional fundus imaging systems have been the gold standard for macular disease diagnosis and optic nerve evaluation for many years. Now, ultra-widefield is starting to change this,” Jim Mazzo, global president ophthalmic devices at Carl Zeiss Meditec, said in the release. “Clinicians are finding that by imaging a larger area of the retina, they have the possibility of uncovering more pathology, aiding in earlier disease diagnosis and better patient management.”
The device will be available in the United States this month.
