Launching Ontario’s First Zeiss Clarus 500

Book Appointment
Central Optometry is proud to be the first site in Ontario to launch the new Zeiss Clarus 500, offering patients the latest in retinal imaging for advanced diagnostics.

The advent of widefield retinal imaging has shown us that indications of disease are often located in the far periphery of the retina. CLARUS 500 is the next generation fundus imaging system from ZEISS that provides true color and high-resolution across an entire ultra-widefield image.
CLARUS 500, the newest ultra-widefield retinal camera from ZEISS, allows clinicians to use color to their diagnostic advantage. ZEISS CLARUS generates images that closely resemble the coloration of the fundus as seen during clinical examination. Color fundus imaging can aid in the diagnosis and documentation of ocular disease, ensuring confidence when evaluating the optic disc, nevi and lesions where color is important.

ZEISS CLARUS 500 allows clinicians to track subtle changes in pathology over time. In addition to true color imaging, it also captures high resolution fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images–FAF-Blue and FAF-Green–and Infrared (IR) and external eye images. Along with an intuitive review software, the ultra-high-resolution of this next-generation retinal camera from ZEISS allows clinicians to manage change with confidence.
For more information, contact the office at 519-432-1875 and to see addition examples of imaging from the Clarus, see the Zeiss Clarus 500 website.
