Optovue Solix Essential OCT & OCTA

The Solix Essential brings the same 120,000 A-scan/sec spectral-domain engine as the flagship Solix into a streamlined package built for practices that need high-speed OCT and OCT Angiography without the full FullRange anterior-to-posterior scanning suite. With 5µm axial resolution, FDA-cleared AngioVue OCTA vessel density metrics, and anterior segment imaging up to 10 mm scan length, the Solix Essential covers retina, glaucoma, and cornea workflows in a single instrument. AI-powered segmentation, DualTrac motion correction, and iWellness screening protocols round out a platform that delivers flagship imaging quality at a more accessible investment level.

Where The Solix Essential Wins

The Solix Essential is built for practices that want flagship-class OCT and OCTA imaging without needing the full FullRange anterior chamber depth scanning of the flagship Solix.

Best Fit

Retina, glaucoma, and comprehensive practices that want a high-speed OCT with built-in AngioVue OCTA at a more accessible price point than the full Solix platform.

Why This Over Flagship

If your practice doesn’t routinely need full anterior chamber depth scanning (angle analysis, IOL planning), the Essential delivers the same 120K scan engine, the same OCTA, and the same AI segmentation at a lower investment. You still get anterior segment OCT for pachymetry and corneal evaluation, just not the extended FullRange depth.

Practice Impact

Supports structured wellness screening with iWellness, diabetic retinopathy monitoring with AngioVue, glaucoma progression tracking, and anterior segment evaluation, consolidating multiple diagnostic needs into a single platform.

Consider Instead

If your case mix regularly needs the extended FullRange imaging depth or the full anterior-segment module set, buy the Solix rather than discovering the ceiling later. If OCTA is not part of your workup at all, the iVue 80 is the cheaper honest answer.

Core Capabilities

Why Practices Choose Solix Essential

120K High-Speed Engine

The same 120,000 A-scan/sec spectral-domain engine as the flagship Solix with 5µm axial resolution and 15µm lateral resolution. High-density scan patterns with vessel-to-vessel alignment for diagnostic-grade retinal imaging.

AngioVue OCTA

FDA-cleared OCT Angiography provides vessel density metrics without dye injection. Scan sizes from 3×3 mm to 12×12 mm with AngioVue Montage for extended field coverage. FAZ Analytics support early diabetic vascular change detection.

Glaucoma & Screening

DualTrac motion correction, SSADA flow analysis, and MCT with AI segmentation for glaucoma analysis. iWellness and AngioWellness protocols give screening programs a repeatable structural baseline for early disease detection.
