Optovue SOLIX Essential

The same 120 kHz SOLIX engine and AngioVue OCT-A in a configuration without FullRange imaging and the multimodal additions.

Overview

SOLIX Essential is the same spectral domain platform as SOLIX, configured for practices that do not need FullRange imaging or the multimodal additions. It runs at the same 120 kHz scan speed with the same 5 micron axial and 15 micron transverse resolution, and it includes the proprietary Optovue scans and software with advanced scan patterns. Anterior segment work is well covered: Visionix lists corneal scans with pachymetry, angle measurement and 3D imaging, plus a 10 mm Corneal Layer Map across 16 meridians quantifying epithelial, stromal and total corneal thickness, and a Change Analysis report comparing thickness between visits. The decision between the two models is about FullRange scan range and multimodality, not about whether you can image the anterior segment.

What is shared, and what is added on the full SOLIX

Shared across both: the 120 kHz engine, 5 micron axial and 15 micron transverse resolution, iWellness, AngioVue single scan, AngioVue OCT-A with enhanced metrics, multi-volume averaging SSADA, 3D PAR 2.0, and DualTrac motion correction. Anterior segment imaging is also present on Essential, including pachymetry, angle measurement, 3D imaging and the 10 mm Corneal Layer Map.

  • FullRange retinal imaging, the 16 x 6.25 mm posterior scan
  • FullRange anterior imaging, the 18 x 6.25 mm scan covering the whole anterior chamber or crystalline lens in one pass
  • Longer scan range in a single acquisition
  • Integrated fundus photography
  • External IR imaging
  • The wider multimodal option set, including the topography module

Deciding between the two

This is a question about scan range and multimodality, not about whether you can do corneal work. Look at your last few months of imaging. If you are running into scan depth limits, on high myopes or when you want the entire anterior chamber in one capture, or you want fundus photography on the same instrument, the fully featured SOLIX is the one to price. If your corneal and retinal work fits comfortably within the standard scan range, Essential gives you the same engine and software for less scope. We will walk through both against your actual case mix.

Who this is a good fit for

If none of these describe your practice, it is probably not the right instrument, and we will tell you that.

What to ask on a demo

A demo is worth more when you arrive with your own cases and a list of questions. Here is what we would raise.

  • Review your recent imaging mix to see whether FullRange scan range would change anything
  • Compare the two configurations side by side before pricing either
  • Run a corneal layer map and confirm it covers your contact lens and ocular surface work
  • Confirm which scan patterns your protocols depend on
  • Discuss EMR integration and image storage
