Examination of the body

Investigation of the sensitivity of the cornea

The cornea is a highly sensitive shell of the eyeball. With various pathological conditions of the eye, its sensitivity can be significantly reduced or completely disappear, so its definition can be a very informative indicator in establishing the diagnosis.

Investigation of intraocular pressure

The level of intraocular pressure can be determined in various ways: tentatively (palpation), using tonometers of the applanation or impression type, and also in a non-contact way.

Gonioscopy

Gonioscopy is a method of examining the angle of the anterior chamber, hidden behind the translucent part of the cornea (limb), which is performed using a gonioscope and a slit lamp.

Biomicroscopy

Biomicroscopy is the intravital microscopy of the eye tissues, a method that allows one to examine the anterior and posterior parts of the eyeball under various illumination and image magnitudes.

Ophthalmoscopy

Ophthalmoscopy is a method of examining the retina, optic nerve and vascular membrane in the rays of light reflected from the fundus. The clinic uses two methods of ophthalmoscopy - in the reverse and in a direct form.

Eye examination with side (focal) and transmitted light

The method is designed to detect subtle changes in the anterior part of the eyeball. The study is conducted in a dark room using a table lamp installed on the left and front of the patient at a distance of 40-50 cm at the level of his face.

Methods for the study of accommodation

It is necessary to distinguish between absolute and relative accommodation. Absolute accommodation is the accommodation of one (isolated) eye when turned off from the act of seeing the other.

Methods for the study of refraction

The most common subjective method of investigating refraction is a method based on determining the maximum visual acuity with correction.

Skiascopy

Sciascopia (from the Greek scia - shadow, scope - I examine) is a method of objective investigation of clinical refraction based on observation of the movement of shadows obtained in the pupil area when the latter is illuminated by various methods.

Visual acuity: visual acuity check

To study visual acuity, special tables are used. Containing different sizes of optotypes (letters, numbers, signs).
