Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope

A scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) is a device that is used to diagnose and treat eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal dystrophy and others. It works on the basis of a scanning laser, which allows you to obtain a high-resolution image of the fundus.

An ophthalmoscope scans the fundus of the eye using a laser beam that passes through the pupil and is reflected from the retina. The image is then transmitted to a computer monitor where a doctor can analyze it and make a diagnosis.

One of the main advantages of a scanning laser ophthalmoscope is that it allows the doctor to see the smallest details of the fundus of the eye that are not visible during a normal examination. This allows you to more accurately diagnose diseases and choose the most effective treatment method.

In addition, a scanning laser ophthalmoscope can be used to monitor the condition of the fundus during treatment. For example, it can be used to monitor the condition of the retina during cataract surgery or to monitor the condition of the fundus after laser coagulation of the retina.

In general, a scanning laser ophthalmoscope is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. It allows doctors to obtain more accurate information about the condition of the fundus and choose the most effective treatment method.

Ophthalmoscopy with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope. Its features are that the device does an excellent job of studying the patient’s retina and makes it possible to generate a detailed graphic image showing the quality of his vision. The operating principle of this device is based on the use of light pulses.

The Scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) is an ophthalmoscope that allows you to visualize and analyze eye tissue using a laser. One of its advantages is the ability to obtain photographic documents in various modes, for example, photodiagnosis, photographing retinal vessels, taking images of lacrimal chamber vessels, etc. The capabilities of LASIK refractive surgery combined with SLO and amblyoscopy can improve the situation with almost any degree of refractive changes in the eye, making vision clearer and clearer. This is the main purpose of preparing scanning laser examinations in ophthalmology.
