HRT (Heidelberg Retinal Tomography) involves a tomographic examination of the retina and optic disc. This method is used e.g. with diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. Recently, it has been more and more often replaced by OCT. With the use of a special attachment, confocal microscopy of the cornea, useful in the diagnosis of infective disease, can be performed.
The examination requires no special preparation of the patient. . Before the examination, it may be necessary to apply pupil-dilating drops, which cause blurred vision and photophobia persisting for a few hours after the examination
