Cleveland-Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc. has logged its 2,600th installation of the GDx Scanning Laser Polarimeter, this time in the offices of Douglas P. Webb, MD.

The imaging technology is designed to assist in the early detection and management of glaucoma by comparing detailed measurements of a patient's retinal nerve fiber layer with a large, multi-racial normative database. The technology also incorporates neural network techniques to calculate the probability of glaucoma.

Dr. Webb, a general ophthalmologist for the past 20 years, said the equipment offers a significant advancement over visual inspection of the optic nerve, visual field testing, and IOP measurements.
