|---|---|---|
| Light Source | Uses a tunable laser around 1050 nm wavelength for deeper penetration and higher stability. | Uses a broadband super-luminescent diode (~840 nm), limited in depth and more affected by scattering. |
| Imaging Depth | Exceptional penetration through retinal pigment epithelium and into the choroid — visualizing deeper layers clearly. | Limited penetration; choroidal structures often indistinct or lost in shadow. |
| Scanning Speed | Much faster data acquisition, enabling quick, high-density scans with minimal motion artifacts. | Slower capture; longer scans often suffer from motion blur and patient discomfort. |
| Image Quality | Delivers consistent high-definition images across all tissue layers, even with cataracts. | Excellent for retinal surface imaging but signal quality drops with depth or opaque media. |
| Signal Stability | Laser source provides uniform signal strength throughout scans and across follow-ups. | Signal decays with depth; performance may vary over time. |
| Performance in Media Opacity | Penetrates through cataracts, corneal haze, or vitreous hemorrhage with minimal degradation. | More susceptible to scattering; image quality declines significantly in such conditions. |
| Measurement Reliability | Provides precise, repeatable quantitative data — ideal for long-term monitoring. | Reliable for superficial layers but less consistent for deep structures. |
| Technological Maturity | Represents the latest generation of OCT innovation; future-ready and expandable. | Older, well-established technology nearing its performance limits. |
| Maintenance & Calibration | Laser-based system offers better long-term stability and reduced recalibration. | Requires frequent calibration and periodic adjustments. |
| Clinical Advantage | Enables earlier disease detection, superior visualization, and greater diagnostic confidence. | Reliable for standard retinal scans but may miss subtle or deeper pathology. |
| Overall Value | Deeper • Faster • More Detailed • Future-Proof — the clear choice for advanced eye care. | Proven but technologically limited — less suitable for comprehensive imaging needs. |
