Block 10 Flashcards
What is the image in BIO
Real, inverted and reversed
What do higher power lenses offer in BIO
Greater FOV and can aid with examining small pupils
The power of the condensing lens determines what 3 things
Working distance
Magnification
FoV
What lens power has greater mag: higher or lower power
Lower power (+14D has biggest mag)
Which lens power has the largest FoV: higher or lower power
Higher power (+30D)
Which power lens requires a greater working distance: higher or lower power
Lower power (+14D)
Mag of +30D lens
2x
Mag of +20D lens
3.25x
Mag of +14/15D lens
4.17x
FoV for +30D lens
60 degrees
FoV for +20D lens
40 degrees
FoV for +14/15D lens
30 degree
Stereo for +30 lens
1/2
Stereo for +20D lens
3/4
Stereo for +14/15D lens
1
Working distance from cornea for +30D lens
26 mm
Working distance from cornea for +20D lens
47mm
Working distance from cornea for +14/15D lens
72mm
Lens used to obtain a panoramic view when detail and stereo are not as important
+30D lens
Lens used with a small pupil
+30D
Most widely used lens
20D
Lens provides an adequate FoV, stereo and mag
20D
Lens most useful for detailed view of macular or optic disc
15D
Lens for determine elevation of retina in shallow retinal detachment
15D
Room lighting for BIO
Dark enough to achieve sufficient contrast
Do you start with the brightest light possible in BIO
No, wait until the pt is accustomed to it and then gradually turn it up
4 clinical pearls of BIO
- dark room
- avoid too much ambient lighting
- dont begin with brightest light
- have a sequential system
How long should you do BIO at a time to keep the patient comfy
= 30 seconds
Advantages of BIO
- great for nystagmus
- great for kids
- portable
- examine periphery
- big FoV
- stereo
Disadvantages of BIO
- hard to learn
- less mag (harder to see detail of lesions)
- impossible with small pupils
- uncomfortable for pts
Advantages of having a systematic approach for BIO
- Minimize risk of overlooking
- aiding in the recall of the location of findings
Which part of retinal is examined first and why
Peripheral retinal to allow light adaptation
How many meridians do we examine
8
(SN, S, ST, T, IT, I, IN, N)
When laying down, how do you examine the meridian in question
Stand 180 degrees away
The fundus image viewed through the lens in
INVERTED and REVERSED
