Abstract

Scanning laser tomography (HRT, HRT II), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx nerve fibre analyser, GDx VCC), retinal thickness analyser (RTA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT, stratus OCT) provide objective measurements of the optic disc and the retinal nerve fibre layer suitable for the follow-up of glaucoma patients. Their ability to diagnose early glaucomatous damage is still limited but promising technical advances in this field can be expected in the future. For the moment, clinical examination and fundus photography still remain the gold standard for the assessment of glaucomatous optic disc and retinal nerve fibre layer damage.
