Case study: A traumatic case

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 first of a three-part series examining each of the patient cases.

Patient history

Fundus appearance (figures 1 & 2)

Average-sized discs with no significant asymmetry and no rim notching (figures 1 and 2). There is evidence of macular pucker in the left eye consistent with an epiretinal membrane and microaneurysms at the fovea, indicating mild non-proliferative retinopathy (figure 2).
