Cynthia, you should not be concerned about whether a "tech" can handle
Microperimetry. Both the MP-1 and the MIAI are quite easy to use, no
more complex than doing fundus photography or OCT. Well within the
realm of a reasonably trained tech or imager to perform.
The larger question, as with all diagnostic tests, is not whom is
performing the test by title or caste, but more importantly, is the
procedure being performed by a well trained individual and with
competent results?

We use the Nidek MP-1. Both photographers and Techs are using it here
but because of the joystick handling I think the learning curve is
faster for a photographer than a tech. I also found that a tech that
have learned using the MP-1, learned fundus photography faster than a
tech that had not.
In general I would say it is not a difficult unit to operate and most
will handle it fairly quickly.

Does anyone out there perform Microperimetry? What system do you use?
Is it more commonly performed by photographers or OA/Technicians or
both?
I heard we are possibly acquiring one and am wondering who is best
suited to perform this task.
