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