California, was developed for medical imaging and is a standard for retinal screening programs. California is available in multiple configurations and multiple imaging modality options. California produces a 200°, single-capture retinal image of unrivaled clarity in less than ½ second and is changing the management of diseases including Geographic Atrophy, DR, AMD, and uveitis.
With California, Optos has incorporated new technology enabling practitioners to see more, discover more, and effectively treat more ocular pathology thus promoting patient health. In addition to a field of view of 200 degrees or 82% of retina in a single image capture, California, offers the following benefits:
- Visibility of 50% more of the retina when compared to other conventional imaging devices
- Motorized head and chin rest to more easily align those patients who require additional assistance during imaging
- Multiple imaging modalities including color rg which produces three images in a single capture (color rg, sensory red-free, and choroidal in a single image) and introducing color rgb which produces four images in a single capture (color rg, color rgb, sensory red-free, and choroidal) and autofluorescence (both green and blue*) (*Feature may not be available in all regions)
- Dye-based imaging modalities fa and icg as well as interweaved angiography for parallel capture of fa and icg images without manually switching between imaging modalities
Unique Features
- The only single-capture ultra-widefield retinal image as defined by The International Widefield Imaging Study Group.
- Non-mydriatic retinal imaging in less than ½ second has been shown to decrease patient visit time, enable doctors to see 7% more patients and help doctors visualize pathology outside of the view of traditional small field fundus photography.
- cSLO technology images through most cataracts and small pupils (2 mm).
- All California configurations produce at least 3 images in a single capture: color rg, Red-free, and Choroidal (3-in-1).
- California configurations with optional rgb produce 4 images in a single capture: color rgb, color rg, Red-free, and Choroidal (4-in-1).
- Autofluorescence shows details across the entire retina.
- Image overlay tool facilitates comparison of images in different image modes and from visit to visit.
- OptosAdvance™ Image Management software streamlines image review, referrals, and consultations.
- DICOM compatible software supports compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations.
Accurate distance (mm) and area (mm2) measurements provide objective assessment of change over time. - Stereo disc imaging allows accurate assessment of the optic nerve to diagnose and follow the progression of glaucoma.
- Auto-montage combines an optomap into a single image showing up to 220° (97%) of the retina.

Questions about optomap...
Why is a retinal exam so important?
Some of the first signs of diseases such as stroke, diabetes and even some cancers can be seen in your retina, often before you have other symptoms. An optomap makes it easier to see them.
What is an optomap?
The optomap is a digital image of the retina produced by Optos scanning laser technology. It is the only technology that can capture 82% view of your retina at one time.
How will optomap benefit me?
The ultra-widefield optomap may help your eye doctor detect problems more quickly and easily. Unlike traditional retinal exams, the optomap image can be saved for future comparisons.
Are there side effects?
Optomap images are created by non-invasive, low-intensity scanning lasers. No adverse health effects have been reported in over 65 million sessions.
Is an optomap safe for children?
Yes. In fact, many vision problems begin in early childhood, so it’s important for children to receive quality routine eye care.
Does it hurt?
No. It is completely comfortable and the scan takes less than a second.
How often should I have an optomap?
This is a decision that should be made by your doctor. However, it is generally recommended that you have an optomap each time you have an eye exam.
