Ophthalmoscopy, optic disc photos essential in glaucoma evaluation, management
PRAGUE — Fundus photography remains essential in the diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma. Imaging cannot capture all signs and should therefore complement but not substitute clinical examination, according to one specialist speaking at the European Glaucoma Society Congress. Thierry Zeyen, MD, PhD, mentioned several studies demonstrating that expert ophthalmologists and optometrists with a special interest in glaucoma were able to assess optic disc photos with equal or even greater precision than HRT, GDx or OCT.
