Chapter Overview
This chapter explains in detail how to acquire Stratus OCT scans. It covers the following
steps:

The Stratus OCT offers scan acquisition protocols to acquire retinal scans. Their
characteristics and applications are covered in Chapter
(4).
Adjust the Height
Once you have entered or selected a patient record (see Enter Patient Data, page 2-5),
the next step is to adjust the instrument height for patient comfort. Seat the patient on the
patient side of the Stratus OCT, facing the operator.
Note: Before placing the head in the headrest, we recommend the patient touch the
metal base of the Stratus OCT instrument, to prevent electrostatic shock near the
patient's eye.
• It is important to optimize patient comfort by properly adjusting the height of the
table and/or chin cup. This permits lengthy examination with a clear, consistent view
of the fundus, resulting in high quality OCT images.
How to Adjust the Height
There are two ways to adjust the height:
• You can raise or lower the entire Stratus OCT desktop using the table height switch.
This switch is underneath the center of the table on the operator side (see the
Stratus OCT System Hardware drawing on page 1-8 ).
