Slit-lamp biomicroscopy: Specular reflection and Scattering sclero-corneal illumination

Abstract

© Sociedad Española de Óptica. The slit lamp enables the user to inspect some eye segments by different illumination techniques. One of them, specular reflection, allow the user to evaluate the corneal endothelium. This work shows two photographs about different techniques: specular reflection is valuable for examining the corneal endothelium and scattering sclero-corneal illumination for studying the structure and transparency of the cornea.
