Q

SLIT LAMP SET UP STEPS 1-8

A
  1. Set oculars on zero
  2. Set microscope on lowest mag
  3. Click light source into center position
  4. Wipe chin rest and headrest
  5. Orient patient and adjust eye level
  6. With the joystick, move the base of the instrument all the way to the left and all the way in (towards the patient)
  7. Turn in power, observe light at patients outer can thus
  8. Make all necessary height, width and color adjustments to the slit.

Q

Diffuse

A

Light is thrown out of focus so it spreads over a large portion of the eye.

Q

What is parallelepiped?

15
Q

What is specular reflection?

A

When the lamp and microscope are at equal angles to the midline, a smooth transparent surface will reflect a mirror image of the lamp bulb.

(If not smooth, viewer sees the texture of the surface rather than the mirror image)

16
Q

Specular reflection is useful for detecting

A
  • hazy lenses
  • fine epithelial edema
  • endothelial cells
  • surfaces of the crystalline lens
17
Q

Indirect

Retroillumination and sclerotic scatter

A

Set up like parallelepiped but the viewer looks to the side of the slit instead of directly into it.

18
Q

Indirect is very effective for inspecting opaque structures such as

A
  • lids and lashes

- sclera and conjunctiva

19
Q

Retro illumination is apart of which illumination?

A

Indirect

20
Q

What is retro illumination?

A

Uses reflected light from the iris or retina to backlight something opaque or translucent in the cornea.

The examiner sees the shadowed side of the object against the bright background.

21
Q

Retro illumination can be used for viewing

A
  • corneal vascularization and scarring
  • edema, microcysts
  • deposits on the contact lens or cornea
22
Q

Sclerotic scatter is apart of what illumination?

A

Indirect

23
Q

What is sclerotic scatter ?

A

A halo effect is produced when a bright beam is directed toward the limbus at a wide angle.

The halo is caused by light being reflected internally between the corneal epithelium and endothelial.

24
Q

The classic use for sclerotic scatter is the detection of

A

Patch edema

25
Q

PREFITTING EXAM:

Without flourescein inspect

A
  • lid margins and lashes
  • inside lower lid
  • sclera and conjunctiva ( all quadrants )
  • limbus
  • all layers of the cornea
  • iris,pupil,crystalline lens
26
Q

PREFITTING EXAM:

With fluorescein check

A
  • tear break up time
  • integrity of the corneal epithelial
  • inside upper lid
27
Q

FOLLOW UP EXAM:

Without fluorescein view

A
  • lens position and movement
  • limbus
  • all layers of the cornea
  • sclera and conjunctiva
  • lids
  • contact lens surface
28
Q

FOLLOW UP EXAM:

With fluorescein observe

A
  • RGP fluorescein pattern
  • RGP lens/cornea relationship
  • integrity of the epithelium
