Indirect biomicroscopy techniques.

Abstract

An improved method of biomicroscopic examination of the ocular fundus has been made possible with the use of a +90 diopter condensing lens. Formation of a superb aerial image provides a magnified, stereoscopic view of the posterior fundus to the equatorial area when used in conjunction with the slit lamp biomicroscope. This non-contact method of evaluating the fundus provides superior optics, improved patient comfort and compliance, and an enhanced field of view compared to other available methods of biomicroscopic funduscopy.

[Spontaneous resolution of idiopathic macular hole type IV: optical coherence tomography follow-up].

CASE REPORT: A fifty-five year old patient with visual loss in the left eye was diagnosed to have a complete idiopathic macular hole. After a three-week observational period, spontaneous resolution of the macular hole was observed with vision recovery, all of this clearly demonstrated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DISCUSSION: Spontaneous resolution of the idiopathic macular hole is infrequent (3-6%). OCT follow-up enabled monitoring of the closure mechanisms. Complex surgery was avoided by a short observational period.
