  • In this video I'll show all the medical students, residents, and newcomers to the field of ophthalmology how to use the indirect ophthalmoscope. If you are in med school or about to do an ophthalmology away rotation and want to know the basics of how the indirect works this video may be helpful to help you learn how to use the indirect ophthalmoscope. This video will be most helpful to med students who are new to ophthalmology or those getting ready to start their ophthalmology residency and want some guidance on using the indirect ophthalmoscope. Or if you're an ED doctor an have access to one and some lenses maybe you'll find this video useful. The skill of indirect ophthalmoscopy makes you very valuable for diagnosing eye diseases in ophthalmology- not many doctors can use it!

    Zak, great video as usual! Thank you for taking the time to make it. I have a question about the lenses. Have you tried the digital series of lenses from Volk? If so, what do you think of them as an alternate option to the standard 20, 90, 78, 28D set?

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  4 года назад +1

      Hi, I've tried the digital wide field lens. It was a little awkward for me at first after using the 20 for so long. I'm sure it's a great lens but I personally preferred my 20.

    Just a quick question sir.
    Is a diopter a diopter? I guess I mean this. Are all diopter created equally when it comes to magnification, and clarity?
    I will get to the point. I have a couple of achromatic aspherical diopters, in 58mm and 72mm, both 10x that I use for photography.
    They make eyes look stunning!
    What is the difference between your diopters and mine? I would love to take photos of the inside of eyes!
    Thank You For Your Time Sir!!

  • @pioustawiahamoako5537
    @pioustawiahamoako5537 3 года назад

    Without the BIO and slit lamp can the 20D lens be used to view the fundus by providing your own illumination? I've seen a couple of videos suggesting that. Could you clarify?

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  3 года назад

      Hi, yes. You can use your phone, turn on the video on the away facing camera. Set the flash to on continuously (that is your light source). It takes some practice but you can use your phone and a 20 diopter lens this way to view and even record video of the fundus. They even make some special lens holders that keep the 20 at the right distance from your phones camera. There is also an app that is supposed to help but you can just use the camera app on the phone. It’s not easy though, good luck!

    Do you always use a scleral depressor when using the indirect ophthalmoscope?

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  4 года назад +3

      Often not. The depressor helps get those very far peripheral views out to the ora if you are looking for tears or breaks.

      @wittypediay 4 года назад +1

      If you have all Volk lenses they have the mulitlens cases available separately. You can check out their website or ask your local dealer too from whom you generally buy the lenses. I cannot say about any other company though.

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  4 года назад +2

      My lenses are volk which came with the case. Last I checked you can get an empty case for your lenses in the neighborhood of $30-50. Volk will custom make lens cases for your specific set of lenses as well. I'd just message or call them and they can likely make one to house all your lenses, likely up to 5 or so.

    Quick question, is a BIO a replacement for using a slit lamp to view the Retina? Maybe a dumb question...Just trying to learn!

    • @doctoreyeballmd7493
      @doctoreyeballmd7493  3 года назад +1

      Not a dumb question. It's not really a replacement. There is some overlap in what they can do but there are also parts of the exam that each cannot do. A complete eye exam is going to require the use of both.

    How much its cost and what is its superior benefit over direct opth. Or SLIT lamp

    • @sir_naif3151
      @sir_naif3151 4 года назад +1

      @mohammed Hilmi the cost depend on the company ( manufacture ) of indirect ophthalmoscope/(20D)lens. The indirect ophthalmoscope has many advantages, it has wider field of view , and the use of binocular vision for better depth perception. On the other hand, the direct ophthalmoscope has high magnification ( X15 vs X3.5 for the indirect ) and it is available in almost every clinic. Hope that was helpful.
