Diagnostic Diagrams: Ophthalmology

Diagnostic Values of Electrophysiology in Ophthalmology

Two important characteristics make this paraclinic method different from others; to be both functional and objective. Many ocular tests as angiography, ultrasonography and OCT are objective but not functional, and some, as perimetry and contrast sensitivity test are functional but not objective. This is why electrodiagnostic tests are problem solving and conclusive in equivocal instances specia...

Therapeutic and Diagnostic Application of Lasers in Ophthalmology

A computerised diagnostic index for medical and neuro-ophthalmology.

We have developed a classification that meets the requirements of the Medical Eye Unit and computerised it. The classification uses three categories: anatomical site of lesion, pathological process, and clinical diagnosis. Each patient is identified by standard data and up to three entries in each of anatomical localisation, pathological diagnosis, and clinical diagnosis. This system allows the...
