Equipment: The OCTs that headlined Optrafair

This year’s exhibition was notable for the rise in the angiography capability (the development of OCT algorithms that allow the analysis of reflected light from blood moving in vessels to visualise vascular patency without the need for fluorescein injections) in the higher specification OCTs along with the arrival of some new models, most familiar and one imported machine new to me altogether.
