FDA Grants Marketing Clearance for Heidelberg Engineering’s Spectralis OCT Glaucoma Module Premium Edition

Eye-device manufacturer Heidelberg Engineering has received marketing clearance for its glaucoma testing device.

New technology in the device allows the module to create an anatomic map unique to each patient’s eye using two fixed, structural landmarks: the center of the fovea and the center of Bruch’s membrane opening.

The technology allows the new measurement method to provide significantly enhanced diagnostic accuracy, the company said. — Cynthia Jessup
