Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy

Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy is like taking a photo of the inside of your eye, but with a special camera that uses laser beams instead of regular light. The laser beams are very focused and can make a very detailed image of all the different parts of your eye, like your retina and optic nerve.

To use this camera, you will sit in a chair and lean your head against a special rest. The camera will then send out laser beams that will scan your eye, taking lots of pictures very quickly. The pictures are sent to a computer, which puts them all together to create a full picture of your eye.

This type of camera is very useful for doctors and eye specialists, as it allows them to see very detailed images of your eye and any problems that might be there. This can help them diagnose and treat conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.
