  • METHOD FOR EVALUATING LONGITUDINAL OPTIC DISC-RETINAL HEALTH
    Publication number: 20080273174
    Abstract: A computer program for evaluating retina or optic disc disease establishes a threshold level by looking at variation within data collected at a given patient visit and uses that threshold level to evaluate the progression of disease indicated by changes in measurement of the retina or optic disc

  • Method and apparatus for monitoring glaucoma using scanning laser tomography
    Patent number: 7410258
    Abstract: A method of making reproducible and accurate longitudinal studies of neuroretinal rim area establishes a reference plane based on height values of a readily established contour line at the outer rim of the optic disc. The reference plane may be used to establish a second inner contour line, between which contour lines area is measured.
