To clarify the different modalities, the Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (CSLO) has been popularized as the Heidelberg Engineering device, current version being the HRT 3; the Scanning Laser Polarimeter is the GDx machine, and; the original Optical Coherence Tomography unit and its next 2 generations were popularized by Zeiss and use Time Domain scanning whereas the latest technology uses Spectral Domain technology to achieve much higher resolution with the Spectralis OCT made by Heidelberg Engineering.

Dr. Schuman is at University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre and is an inventor of Time Domain Ocular Coherence Tomography. His research interests include imaging of the eye, laser-tissue interactions, aqueous outflow, and clinical pharmacology.

The conversation includes a comparison of this to Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT), the step-wise approach to treating patients with glaucoma and where the SLT might fit it. We also cover the burning question of the repeatability of this treatment modality as well as its contraindications.
