A new technique of indirect ophthalmoscopy for the eye plastic surgeon.
The coaxial fiberoptic headlight used by the lacrimal and orbital surgeon is an excellent light source for visualization of the retina. When employed in conjunction with a condensing lens, an inverted stereoscopic aerial image is produced. The eye plastic surgeon might therefore routinely examine the dilated patient in conjunction with lacrimal or orbital surgery.
