Lec 2: Fundus BIO Flashcards
Dilated exam IS part of a comprehensive exam in order to bill what two codes?
92004 (new)
92014 (established)
Refraction and binocular assessment alone does not complete a comprehensive eye examination. The patient MUST have a fundus assessment. This can be done dilated or not, with the preference of dilation. (T/F)
true
whats the difference b/w direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy?
direct: upright, non inverted image
indirect; anatomically in correct position
indirect: inverted, aerial image b/w examiner’s eye and condensing lens
techniques using direct views
goldmann 3 mirror with Hruby lens
direct ophthalmoscope
technique using indirect view
hand held condensing lens (inverted and reversed)
Preferred technique of posterior pole examination
fundus biomicroscopy
! Lens diameter > 90D
! Magnification >90D
! FOV <90D
! 8mm working distance
78 D
! Good with small pupil
! Small, ring design
! Fov ~30 – 40 degrees
! 7mm working distance
90 D
! Good “work horse” lens for biomicroscopy
! Preferred lens for undilated views
90D
! Preferred lens for glaucoma suspects and diabetic retinopathy
78D
! Small, diameter, >90D
! Designed to provide same mag as the 90D with >fov
! 7mm working distance
super 90
- specially designed for high res of posterior pole
- lens diamter > 78D
- Mag > 78D but designd to give same fov as 78D
- 11mm wd
super 66
pt with deep set eye
what lens should u use?
78D b/c it has a longer wd (super 66 would be great too)
! Ideal for posterior pole
! Diameter similar to 78D
! Fov similar to 78D with more mag than 78D
! 13mm working distance
digital high mag
! “Ultimate” 90, similar mag and much wider filed of view
! Working distance VERY SHORT at 5-6mm
digital wide field
The proper _____________ allows the back focus of the lens to be fixed right at the pupil, permitting the examiner to move the joystick and effectively scan the full field the lens provides
