Ophthalmology

Eye Imaging Equipment

• Digital retinal cameras (Topcon and Zeiss): For colour fundus photography and fluorescein angiography.
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT Zeiss Stratus, Cirrus): Enables cross-sectional imaging of the retina. Used primarily for macular and optic nerve head imaging.
• Scanning laser ophthalmoscope (HRA2 from Heidelberg Engineering): For fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.
• Photo slit-lamp micrography: For photographing anterior eye structures such as the cornea, iris, conjunctiva and lens.
• Corneal topography (Orbscan 2): Measures the thickness, refractive power and shape of the cornea
• Optic nerve head analyser (HRT3, Heidelberg Engineering): For precise optic nerve head imaging. Primarily for patients with, or suspected of having, glaucoma.
• External photography (digital Nikon SLR): For photographing eyelids and other facial structures.
• Rostock corneal module (HRT): For high-magnification of all corneal layers. Enables endothelial cell counts.
