HRT

my approach to glaucoma: HRT (Heidelberg) shows improvement of the eye nerve

Submitted by robekb on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 1:12pm

There was a big surprise for me as I have had today my eye HRT exam. I decided to do the HRT after two months after the recent test as I was curious whether there was any effect from the changes which I have seen in my IOPs (which originated about two months ago).

Quite unexpectedly for me the scan of my eye nerve is, I believe, showing improvement. I haven't discussed this with my doc yet as I have a scheduled visit for next month. BTW my state today when taking the eye exam was far from perfect: I had higher than usual IOP due to a nasty cold and stuffed sinuses.

Learning to Interpret My Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT-II) Results

Submitted by dave on Fri, 01/26/2007 - 12:19pm

My doctors are responsible for the real intrepretation of my Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT-II) results. However, being a curious person, I like to understand the results myself. This blog post is my attempt to share what little I know about HRT results so far.

I have made my HRT-II results from 2006 and 2007 available online:

Nerve Fiber Loss Timeline

I wonder if it is possible to guess about the rate of progression of my optic nerve damage (in my right eye) using my existing test results. Unfortunately, over the last 2.5 years since my diagnosis, my optic nerve analyses have not all been performed with the same instruments. However, given the available information, I'm wondering if it is possible to guess whether the rate of damage is slowing since the beginning of 2006 or not.

I have had either a GDx or an HRT test on the following dates:

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.

My Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT-II) Results for 2006

Submitted by dave on Mon, 01/02/2006 - 10:59pm

 

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.
