However, undilated examination is more convenient (albeit not as comprehensive), and is the most common type in primary care.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomography is a diagnostic procedure used in ophthalmology.The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) is an ophthalmological confocal point scanning laser ophthalmoscope [1] for examining the cornea and certain areas of the retina using different diagnostic modules (HRT retina, HRT cornea, HRT glaucoma).
