Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes offer practical tools for clinical use to obtain quantitative information of the optic nerve head and peripapillary retina. These instruments acquire objective and quantitative data and can be used in many eyes with undilated pupils and cataracts. Further, they acquire images rapidly and with low-level illumination. Because of wide variability in optic nerve head topography among normal eyes, their usefulness may be limited as a single test for change in the optic nerve head and peripapillary retina. These instruments require validation through widespread use and correlation with other structural and functional tests.
共焦扫描激光检眼镜为临床提供了实用工具，可获取视神经乳头和视乳头周围视网膜的定量信息。这些仪器能获取客观的定量数据，可用于许多瞳孔未散瞳和患有白内障的眼睛。此外，它们能在低水平照明下快速获取图像。由于正常眼睛的视神经乳头形态差异很大，作为对视神经乳头和视乳头周围视网膜变化的单一检测方法，其用途可能有限。这些仪器需要通过广泛使用并与其他结构和功能检测方法进行关联来验证。
