ABSTRACT
Automated structural measurements of retinal nerve fibers and optic nerve head are possible with new lasers providing objective and reproductible data for analysis. Scanning laser polarimetry (GDx VCC), based on retardation of polarized light, assesses peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness. Confocal scanning laser tomography yields precise topographic maps of the optic disc and peripapillary retina. The advantages, applications for glaucoma detection, both in a screening setting as well as for monitoring progression, limitations and pitfalls need to be well known and results should be analyzed with clinical data.
