Incorporation of a virtual assessment into a care pathway for initial glaucoma management: feasibility study

“…In 22 of 100 subjects we felt unable to make a definitive diagnosis in the virtual clinic because of equivocal SLO data, that is, an ONH size outside normal range as given by the proprietary software (<1.69 mm 2 or >2.82 mm 2 ) or SLO topography standard deviation of >30 µm, as an accepted limit for image quality 8 . Thirteen of the 22 subjects had a disc size of <1.69 mm 2 , of whom seven had IOP ≥ 22 mmHg.…”

“…This inability to make a firm diagnosis in this group need not be seen as a failure of the virtual clinic, as an actual expert clinical evaluation of such patients' ONH is often equivocal and results in a scheme of management based on serial objective evaluations with repeat SLO, ONH photography and VF. A longitudinal virtual assessment may be indicated for this equivocal subgroup of patients, who on an individual basis act as their own controls 8 …”

Assessment of optic disc parameters among healthy adult Malays by Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph II

“…We conducted a cross‐sectional study using a confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscope, HRT II as an instrument to measure optic disc parameters among Malay students on our campus. HRT II was used as it provides objective, quantitative, three‐dimensional and reproducible images of the optic disc 26 …”

“…HRT II was used as it provides objective, quantitative, three-dimensional and reproducible images of the optic disc. 26 Several clinical and histological studies have demonstrated racial differences in optic disc. 13,[27][28][29] In a previous study, Mansour AM found differences in disc size among Whites and Hispanics, than in non-American Indians, Orientals and blacks.…”

In vivo three-dimensional confocal laser scanning microscopy of the epithelial nerve structure in the human cornea

“…This technique was further developed and and expanded with the use of a commercial available instrument Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II, (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) [42]. The HRT II is commonly used for optic disc analysis [31].…”
