โฆ Synopsis
The 1990s have ushered in a wave of new technologies for the diagnosis and management of the glaucoma patient. These advances bring to the clinician a new level of assessment and reproducibility of clinical evaluations to assist in the therapy. Among the many changes in this arena are scanning laser ophthalmoscopy for the assessment of optic nerve head topography and nerve fiber layer analysis, the development of short wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), SITA (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm) and the introduction of frequency doubling technology. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
