Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in glaucoma diagnosis and management
نویسندگان
چکیده
The early diagnosis and detection of progression are two key-elements in the actual management of glaucoma. The current opinion in clinical practice is to quantify the structural damage for a better follow-up of the patient and the standardization of the results. The present review is a concise survey of literature covering the period of 1990-2010, documenting the evidence-based role of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in glaucoma diagnosis and management.

Ophthalmologic Techniques for Evaluating Glaucoma
Numerous articles describe findings from patients with known and suspected glaucoma using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO), scanning laser polarimetry (SLP), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These studies report that abnormalities may be detected on these examinations before functional changes are noted.(1) The literature, specialty society guidelines, and clinical input ind...
متن کاملImaging and Navigation Imaging Technologies for the Diagnosis of Glaucoma
In this article we describe recent advances in imaging technologies that quantify the topography of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fibre layer and their role in diagnosing glaucoma. These technologies include optical coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser polarimetry (SLP, GDx) and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO, HRT). A review of recently published literature was carr...
متن کاملDiagnostic tools for glaucoma detection and management.
Early diagnosis of glaucoma is critical to prevent permanent structural damage and irreversible vision loss. Detection of glaucoma typically relies on examination of structural damage to the optic nerve combined with measurements of visual function. To aid the clinician in evaluation of visual function and structure, computer-based devices such as confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, scannin...
متن کاملDiagnosis of glaucoma and detection of progression in the presence of concomitant diseases
Core Concepts • An examination of the neuroretinal rim and surrounding retinal nerve fiber layer is necessary to detect glaucomatous optic neuropathy. • Glaucoma often affects the superior and inferior poles of the disc. • Presence of disc hemorrhage and/ or retinal nerve fibre layer defects is very suggestive of glaucoma. • Most automated perimeters report age-adjusted thresholds accounting fo...
