Television slit-lamp biomicroscopy.

Photographic recording of slit-lamp appearances of the ocular fundus.

The four methods of illumination in the use of slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the anterior segment, described first by Vogt, are equally useful in the posterior part of the eye. Examination of the ocular fundus is more difficult. In particular, photography of the central and peripheral parts of the fundus demands additional technical arrangements if all the appearances of biomicroscopy are to be re...

Combining Peyton’s four-step approach and Gagne’s instructional model in teaching slit-lamp examination

Developing skills in performing basic slit-lamp biomicroscopy is an important element of the ophthalmology undergraduate curriculum. As a doctor working in an ophthalmology department, I often provide slit-lamp teaching for medical students. This paper describes a lesson plan for this technique using Gagne's nine events of instruction. The presented lesson plan is a combination of Gagne's nine ...

An infrequent response to slit-lamp examination.

Estimation of optic disc size using indirect biomicroscopy.

The use of the 90 dioptre fundus lens in conjunction with slit-lamp biomicroscopy as a method of estimating optic size was evaluated in a series of 37 patients. The measurements taken from the Haag-Streit slit-lamp were compared with values obtained planimetrically in order to assess a conversion factor and also the reliability of the method. This technique is a quick and easy method of obtaini...

Comparison of smartphone ophthalmoscopy with slit-lamp biomicroscopy for grading diabetic retinopathy.

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy and reliability of smartphone ophthalmoscopy, we compared the ability of a smartphone ophthalmoscope with that of a slit-lamp biomicroscope to grade diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). DESIGN Clinical-based, prospective, comparative instrument study. METHODS This comparative clinical study was performed in 120 outpatients (240 ey...
