Validity of Screening for Glaucomatous Optic Nerve Damage Using Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II) in High-Risk Populations

The results of this study suggest that a glaucoma screening program may be effective in detecting glaucoma when targeting high-risk populations. Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II testing may prove to be a useful tool in detecting glaucomatous optic nerve damage and could be used as part of a complete glaucoma screening protocol.
