Tim,
I filled in some of the product sequence below. I would have to look up dates
for you. If I find my old time line I will email it to you.
Good luck.
Warm Regards,
David Clark

Hi Tim,
I am almost certain that HRA went into clinical use in February, 1996. When
I worked at Vitreoretinal Consultants in Indianapolis we received the first
(or the third?) production HRA in the US. It did ICGA only, I think the
ICGA/FA version came out about 1-2 years later.
It worked fine for about two months, then had to be sent back to Germany to
be fixed. It was used at that practice until about 2013.
Dirk-Uwe might have more information.
VC also got one of the first Stratus 3000s. Almost certain that was 2003.

Subject: [optimal] technology timeline help
Hi all,
I’m putting together a timeline of technology milestones in our field and
could use a little help. Specifically I’m looking for the year of these
milestones:
First commercial SLO (Rodenstock 1988?)
Heidelberg HRA
ICG videoangiography or digital angiography
First commercial time-domain OCT (1995?)
Zeiss OCT1000
Zeiss Stratus OCT 2000(2002?)
Topcon 3D OCT2000 spectral domain. I think this was released before Cirrus.
Any help is most appreciated!
Best,
Tim
