This unique atlas is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference of laser scanning ophthalmoscopy. It is ideal for residents and general ophthalmologists who want to enhance their diagnostic skills. The atlas contains superb images of all clinically relevant diseases diagnosed by current models of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph. It correlates classical diagnostic tools such as perimetry, tonometry and fundus photography with state-of-the-art studies including digital retinal angiography, optical coherence tomography and laser scanning tomography. Special features include the illustrated coverage of diseases of the optic nerve head; different types and stages of glaucoma, and other topics.
