Angle of the anterior chamber viewed by transmitted light.

چکیده
THE viewing of translucent structures by transmitted light is a well established practice in ophthalmology, but so far does not seem to have been applied to the region of the angle of the anterior chamber. A simple and effective method of transillumination has been devised, and, as certain structures in this important region show to better advantage under these conditions, the technique is presented and some preliminary observations on about 100 eyes recorded.
