Buying Your First OCT? What Every New Clinic Needs to Know

Featuring the Huvitz HOCT-1/1F – The Ideal OCT for Start-up Eye Clinics

Opening your first eye clinic is an exciting milestone — but also a big responsibility. With limited space, a fixed budget, and high patient expectations, every investment needs to be strategic. One question we often hear from new ophthalmologists and optometrists is:

“Do I really need an OCT in my first clinic?”

Our answer: Absolutely — but not just any OCT. You need the right one. Let’s explore why an OCT like the Huvitz HOCT-1 or HOCT-1F is the perfect match for new clinics and how you can invest smartly without overspending.

Why an OCT is now a necessity?

Gone are the days when OCT was considered a "super-specialty" tool. Today, patients expect fast, accurate diagnostics - especially in conditions like:

• Diabetic Retinopathy

• Age-related Macular Degeneration

• Glaucoma

• Pre- and post-cataract evaluations

• Keratoconus and ICL vault analysis (full anterior segment OCT)

  
  

Whether you’re practicing in a metro, a town, or a rural setup — having your own OCT means immediate results, better patient retention, and no need to refer out.

The Perfect Fit: Huvitz HOCT-1/1F for New Clinics

The Huvitz HOCT-1/1F was designed with first-time buyers in mind. Here’s what makes it stand out:

1. Compact & Space-Saving

Small clinic? No problem. This OCT fits comfortably even in a single-room setup. It combines Retina, Glaucoma, and Anterior Segment scans in a single platform with no need of an extra screen.

2. Fundus or No fundus? Your Choice

   HOCT-1: For retina and optic disc-focused clinics as well as a great choice for anterior surgeons

   HOCT-1F: Adds colour fundus imaging

Start small — or start all-in. The flexibility is yours.

3. Easy to Learn, Easy to Use

The user-friendly interface and auto-alignment + auto-shoot feature make it ideal even if your staff is new or still in training. You don’t need an imaging specialist to run this machine.

4. Affordable Ownership

Compared to larger brands, Huvitz offers value pricing without compromising on image clarity, scan speed, or report quality. Plus, service support is handled by Jaggi Brothers, with pan-India presence and trained engineers.
