Better optic disc examination: wearing loupes enhances the indirect ophthalmoscope image

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2006 Mar-Apr;43(2):102-3. doi: 10.3928/0191-3913-20060301-10.

Abstract

Optic disc examination with the indirect ophthalmoscope is frequently used in the assessment of pediatric glaucoma cases. If the usual viewing eye-pieces are removed from the headgear and loupes worn instead, then a greatly magnified view of the disc is seen with little change to technique or ease of examination.
