Case study: A traumatic case - part 3

Clinical Practice
In the last of three case studies from Heidelberg Engineering to be followed up at the forthcoming Optrafair show, we look at a case of reduced acuity requiring further investigation

At the NEG/Independents Day conference in November 2016, Heidelberg Engineering scanned three real patients from Optometrist Peter Waite’s practice, KG Miles in Birmingham. All the patients were scanned live on the big screen using the Spectralis Imaging Platform and were assessed for both retinal disease and glaucoma. A case study is presented below in the third of a three-part series examining each of the patient cases.
