title: Retinal topography with the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph.
abstract: The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph is a confocal laser scanning microscope designed for in vivo three-dimensional imaging of the posterior segment of the eye. Due to its ability to produce highly accurate and reproducible topographic images, this sophisticated technology can most effectively be applied to the evaluation of topography at and around the optic nerve head. The main application is seen to be the detection and monitoring of change which occurs in glaucoma.
