Beware or normative data-induced "RED DISEASE" - whereas a given normative
dbase may flag physiologically healthy retina tissue as abnormal when
there really is nothing going on. I agree with Tim as well - it's mostly
about change over time and of course the complete eye exam.
Also, don't forget ganglion cell analysis if your device performs such -
at times it takes some convincing for non-retina docs to scan the macula
and conversely, retina docs to scan the nerve - there are discussions re
accelerating glaucoma with serial anti VEGF injections - - - pick your
poison I guess...
Scanning and billing both the same day another discussion.
