LASER DIAGNOSTICS GDx-400 NERVE FIBER ANALYZER
LOGITECH MOUSE w/WITH MANUAL
GDx is used to test for glaucoma and to track the progression of the disease.
The result of the GDx exam is a color-coded ""thickness map"" of the nerve fiber layer at the back of your eye. This provides information that helps determine whether a patient has glaucoma.
The GDx is an advance for many reasons. It is objective - it doesn't rely on responses to various stimuli that may influence the results. And the GDx is able to determine if one has glaucoma prior to experiencing any vision loss.
Existing tests have limitations. For example, the tonometry test that measures ocular pressure is ineffective for detecting glaucoma in many people. Half of diagnosed glaucoma patients are found to have normal intraocular pressure, yet still have the disease. Perimetry (visual field testing) measures vision already lost to test for glaucoma and can be unreliable.
The GDx exam is very fast - usually less than 5 minutes - and completely painless. No pupil dilation is necessary; the eye is not even touched. The patient simply rests their chin on the support and focus on the light indicated. A safe, invisible laser scans the back of your eye and acquires an image in less than one second.
Measurements are compared to a normative database to provide quick, easy and objective analysis. Test parameters do not rely on questionable risk factors for glaucoma. Nerve fiber analysis with polarimetry shows early damage caused by glaucoma. Fast diagnosis- less than 1 second to image, exams in just minutes, no dilation is required. Typical image reproducibility of better than 15 m allows precise, accurate follow-up of change over time. Serial analysis printout clearly shows specific areas of disease progression.
