My Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT-II) Results for 2007

Submitted by dave on Fri, 01/19/2007 - 1:30pm

These are my HRT results from today, 19-January-2007. This test was performed with an HRT-II, which is the same model used for my HRT test in 2006. However, today's tests were done by a different doctor (and different HRT operator) -- in fact, they were done in a different country.

Upon a quick examination, the doctor didn't seem to think there was much progression over the last year. However, I expect further input in the coming weeks.

I did get the GDx-VCC and I posted the  GDx-VCC test results here. I also have Heidelberg Retina Tomograph test results posted and you can find them by using the HRT tag.

 A friend referred me to a new ophthalmologist who lives in another city. I corresponded with this new ophthalmologist via email. I am not replacing my current ophthalmologists, merely seeking additional input on specific issues where experts are few and far between.

However, I guess many facts did not get communicated clearly in my various emails to the doctor. The doctor sent me this email reply today (and I edited what is posted here):

These are my HRT results from 2-January-2006. Look for my next HRT results around the end of January 2007.

This test was performed with an HRT-II. The HRT is a Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (also called scanning laser tomograph). It is made by Heidelberg Engineering, a German company.
