Best OCT Machine for Small Clinics 2025: Top Picks by Jaggi Brothers

OCT Machine

For a small ophthalmology or optometry clinic, the “best” OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) machine balances cost, features, space, ease-of-use, reliability, and service availability. What matters most depends on what you need: retina work, glaucoma monitoring, anterior segment, or multi-functional capability.

Here are key factors + a recommendation:

Key factors to consider

Feature	Why it matters for small practice
Scan speed & A-scan count	Faster scans = less motion artefact, better patient throughput.
Multi-function combo machines	If you can get retina + angiography + biometry + fundus imaging in one, saves on space and investment.
Ease of use, auto-tracking, auto capture	Helps staff to operate without long training; reduces dependence on a specialist.
Image resolution / depth / segmentation	To differentiate layers clearly, detect early pathology. Useful especially in retina / glaucoma.
Software & reports	Ability to generate useful, understandable reports, trend analysis over time.
Service / warranty / parts locally	Critical — if a part fails and there is no local support, downtime hurts.

Example: Huvitz HOCT-1 / HOCT-1F

• A “one-all-in-one” OCT machine that integrates OCT + biometry + topography + fundus camera, and even angiography in the HOCT-1F model.

• High scan speed (≈ 68,000 A-scans/sec) which helps reduce motion artefacts.

• Good for clinics that need to cover multiple diagnostics with one machine. Less space, fewer machines, more functionality.

  
  

Recommended “best” for most small practices

• Go for a combo OCT that gives OCT + fundus camera + biometry/topography if you have cataract cases too.

• Choose a model like Huvitz HOCT-1F, because it gives a lot of value per rupee in terms of functionality. This model is comparable to products of competitors but at a much more reasonable rate.

Large tertiary hospitals may invest in very high-end devices, but for solo or growing practices, space and budget matter just as much as precision.

Features to look for:

• High-resolution retinal imaging

• Easy-to-use interface for faster learning

• Reliable service support in India

• Cost-effectiveness without compromising on diagnostic detail

  
  

Many small clinics in Tier 2/3 cities prefer compact OCT systems like those from Huvitz, which combine robust imaging with a user-friendly design. These kinds of systems distributed in India by partners like Jaggi Brothers offer an accessible entry point into advanced diagnostics.
