Heidelberg Scanning Laser Retina HRA 2

Heidelberg Scanning Laser Retina Angiograph (HRA 2)

Unlike standard retinal cameras, the HRA 2 allows us to take movies of the blood flow in the back of your eye, as it's happening!  This is necessary to study a number of conditions, but is particularly useful in macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.Back to the Top
