TRANSILLUMINATION OF THE IRIS DURING ROUTINE SLIT-LAMP EXAMINATION

How to conduct a slit lamp examination

BUJO | VOL 2 | ISSUE 1 | SEPTEMBER 2014 Abstract This article aims to introduce the uses of slit lamp bio-microscopy to medical students and junior doctors, providing a brief overview of techniques. It outlines the skills necessary to set up an examination for each patient. The paper summarises a few vital techniques enabling exploration of each part of the eye from outermost lids and tear film...

The fundus slit lamp

Fundus biomicroscopy with the slit lamp as it is practiced widely nowadays was not established until the 1980-es with the introduction of the Volk lenses +90 and +60D. Thereafter little progress has been made in retinal imaging with the slit lamp. It is the aim of this paper to fully exploit the potential of a video slit lamp for fundus documentation by using easily accessible additions. Suitab...

Location of the Pupil-Iris Border in Slit-Lamp Images of the Cornea

We present results for an active contour that finds the pupil-iris border in slit lamp images of the eye. Preprocessing involves producing a variance image from the original image and then locating the annulus, of a given size, which has the lowest mean variance. The centre of this annulus falls inside the pupil, giving a starting position for a discrete circular active contour (DCAC). The DCAC...
