Optic section
Localise corneal alterations
Optic section
Determine if area of staining is excavated, raised or flat
Optic section
estimate anterior chamber depth g van herricks method
Optic section
Flare cells and pigments in anterior chamber aqueous flare Tyndall effect
Examines anterior chamber for debris
Conical
Optic sec can also look at anterior chamber for aqueous flare
Why is optic sec angle 60 so wide
To facilitate depth estimation
