Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy

Other diagnostic tests scanning laser polarimetry, confo-cal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography. 

Indirect ophthalmoscopic assessment of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer at the slit lamp should, whenever possible, be augmented by other techniques such as direct ophthalmoscopy, retinal photography, and/or scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. 

Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, ocular coherence tomography, and scanning laser polarimetry seem to be similarly able to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes. 

Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy can evaluate the optic disc and peripapillary retina in 3 dimensions and provide quantitative information about the cup, neuroretinal rim, and contour of the nerve fiber layer.
