Direct ophthalmoscopy on small pupils
Aug 12, 2008 20:32:27 I am really struggling to get a good view on direct ophthalmocopy on patients with small pupils (and lens opacities). I get as close as I can, use dim illumination and sometimes use the macular stop, but still get a poor view and so many reflections. Please help! Thank you |
