New Hi-Tech Arrival: Maestro2 OCT-Angiography (OCTA)

New Arrival: OCTA — A Modern, No‑Dye Way to Check Your Eye Health

February 2026

Today’s technology gives eye doctors better tools than ever before to look inside your eyes—quickly, safely, and without discomfort. One of the more breakthrough advances is OCT‑Angiography, often called OCTA.

At Vision Solutions, we use the Topcon Maestro2, a state‑of‑the‑art OCTA system that helps us see the tiny blood vessels in the back of your eye in incredible detail. Here’s what that means for you.

What Is OCTA?

OCTA is a special type of imaging that shows the blood flow in your retina—the light‑sensitive tissue that helps you see. Unlike older tests, OCTA does not require any dye injections. Instead, it uses light to create detailed, 3D pictures of your eye’s blood vessels.

This makes the test:

  • Fast

  • Comfortable

  • Safe

  • Highly detailed

How OCTA Helps Our Patients

The Maestro2 is currently the most advanced OCTA device that takes high‑resolution images in just a few seconds. You simply look at a small light, and the machine does the rest. It never touches your eye.

With this technology, your eye doctor can:

  • Detect early signs of eye diseases
  • Monitor changes over time
  • Understand how well blood is flowing in your retina
  • Catch problems before they affect your vision

What Conditions Can OCTA Help Detect?

OCTA is especially helpful for finding and monitoring conditions such as:

  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Macular degeneration
  • Glaucoma
  • Retinal vein or artery problems
  • Macular swelling or fluid

Because OCTA shows both the structure of the retina and the blood flow within it, it gives your doctor a more complete picture of your eye health.

What to Expect During the Test

Most patients are surprised by how simple the test is. Here’s what happens:

  • You sit comfortably and rest your chin on a support
  • You look at a small target light
  • The camera takes images—no pain, no drops, no bright flashes
  • Your doctor reviews the results with you

The entire process usually takes just a few minutes.

Why We Recommend OCTA

Vision changes often happen slowly, and many eye diseases don’t cause symptoms right away. OCTA allows us to spot issues early—sometimes years before you notice anything yourself.

Early detection means:

More treatment options, better long-term outcomes, and greater peace of mind.

Your Vision Deserves the Best Technology

We’re committed to giving you the highest level of care, and the Maestro2 OCTA is one of the most powerful tools we use to protect your sight. If your doctor recommends this scan, know that it’s quick, comfortable, and incredibly helpful for keeping your eyes healthy.
