sclerotic scatter
Mar 21, 2005 23:35:44 when doing sclerotic scatter, after decoupling the slit lamp, moving the beam onto the limbus and looking thru the eyepiece at the central cornea, will you see the glow around the limbus thru the eyepieces?? cos i neva can! it only is visible when you look at the eye directly (i.e. not through the eyepieces). is this correct or am i doing it wrong? |

Mar 22, 2005 07:37:08 The point of decoupling is that you can focus on the area you are concerned about that may demonstrate scatter e.g. central oedema
You would not expect to be able to see the peripheral cornea if you are viewing the central cornea.
You will see the ring around the limbus when you decouple yourself from the illumination system by looking around the eye piece. |
