You are a great teacher, I would love to have you do a video on refraction with the phoropter! (mine is in plus not negative) You break your subject matter down into a way that is easy to learn, follow and retain the information. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
I just finished my COT exam and have been working with an ophthalmologist for about 2 years now, and I love doing applanation. I have no idea why, but I love seeing me some mires.
Thank you for this video! I am learning this from scratch this week and it feels like the hardest thing I have ever learned. Like I'm starting to think that learning open heart surgery might be easier. It was tremendously helpful to see the mires as you were talking about them!
Not an eye doctor, nor am I planning on being one, but I just wanted to say I found this very entertaining. Feeling a little less nervous about my eye appointment tomorrow :)
Omg thanks!! Today was my first day as an ophthal resident and I didnt understand my mistake, bc my measurement was incorrect.. Now I now what to do the next time!! Thanks so much :)
About twenty years ago I went in for this procedure. Doctor used Fluorox drops and Tropicamide Oph Solution .5% in each eye. I had a vasovagal response. Went into anaphylaxis and ended up supine on the floor with three paramedics sticking some sort of paste in my mouth. Rushed to the ER. Was OK a few hours later. Scariest day of my life. My intention isn't to scare off any future eye doctors or students but just have that allergic reaction box on the ready at all times. I felt so bad for the doctor, though. She was just out of school in her late twenties. I remember he calling 911 with a frantic voice, understandably. Great vid by the way.
Thanks so much for this super helpful vid! I've been getting poor readings, I think because I used to adjust the pressure whilst on the cornea, instead of taking it off, and not drying off their eyes before reading. Will try these tips tomorrow!
believe it or not: I watched your videos right before I started filming, so I could try to match your energy level...you can see it wear off towards the end ;-)
Thank you for this very informative video! I was taught that when I have to adjust the dial showing the mmHg, I do it when the prism touches the cornea, so I can see when the semi-circles get in the right position. What is it behind your suggestion to move the prism back and forth doing this adjustment?
Well you've probably found out since but there's some things for those who don't know. For starters the examples are way off so the movement is too large to make on cornea. Second he is using a disposable tip that isn't quite as smooth as the reusable glass ones. this makes movement and large changes to the dial potentially damage the cornea a bit more. you can still do the fine tuning of the dial like a few circle widths on cornea with a disposable probe, but it is better to get it close as you can off it. So if you've been using a glass probe small movements and mostly dialing on cornea is perfectly fine. But as he's is giving a beginner guide I think he opted for a surefire method for both types to make it simpler and safer, erring on the safe side teaching beginners is definitely a good choice.
No discussion about ghost mires? Also in school I thought you start at 1 and then apply more applanation with the knob, not start at 2 and apply less applanation? 2 would also not be a very common expected pressure, as you said in your video, when the average and normal is 10-21, Unless this is a different type of tonometer? please explain if you can
I had this done 2 weeks after lasik surgery since I been on Steroid drops for 2 weeks I was freaking out thinking it would hurt the flap 😩 but I guess doctor knows best
Hi. When using the base plate do we place the goldmann into the first hole to the left when measuring the patients Right eye and the put the golmann into the 2nd hole for the patients LE

This was 1000 times better than how my uni lecturers taught me, thank you
There is something different about your videos man, they're always on point

Brilliant lecture. Best tutorial on GAT. Thank you.
Thank you. This was so helpful. I am a medical student preparing for my residency and this really cleared my concepts!
so happy to help!!

hang in there....it's gonna be a challenge for years...especially with difficult patients.
@@learnabouteyes Apparently I did one correctly yesterday ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ so extra thanks again for the excellent video!

Absolutely wonderful teaching in the most simple manner
Best explanation I've ever seen! Very informative and helpful. Thank you and please keep making videos like this 👍🏻
Thank you Dr for such a wonderful explanation

Una explicación muy clara y completa. Muchas gracias.
this explains better. probably gonna get it right now that you've clarified the procedure.
Beautiful video again! Nicely explained! And you've put Carlos (the eye dummy) in the slit lamp! I love it! :)
and i linked your video in the description
Really amazing and thorough educational video. Thank u so much Doctor.

Awesome video thanks for that
Thank you for your board knowledge of the topic ,some of my doubt were cleared,I am an optometrist
Mostly the interpretation of the various nature of the semi circles
Much useful doctor.
Thank you
you're welcome
Hey what about seeing the ghost mires before the actual mires?
Brilliant!
thanks
Where did you get that model to practice on! We need it, it’s so cool!!!
Very helpful video thanks Dr.
Thank you ..
I am pursuing bachelor of optometry in India .
Thank you so much for this video! You’ve explained everything I needed to know.♥️
Super helpful!!!

please make more videos like on a scan,b scan etc
Supperb
Great training! I'm left-handed and am finding it difficult to master this plus I'm having to take off my glasses to see close. What do you suggest?
Please what illumination and magnification do you use for this test
Thank you so much for the very helpful tips. Could you do use a video about the three mirror contact glass please?
Best regards
just tried something out with a 3 mirror today...there might be something coming soon
What about patients with keratoconus? How we should make measure?What image we get?
I have a big problem getting the center of the cornea in the first place if I keep moving off the cornea to adjust pressure it’s always off center 😢
Pls dr what's the most accurate method to measure eyes pressure (specially for keratoconus patients with low cornea thickness around 320 mm)
No discussion about ghost mires? Also in school I thought you start at 1 and then apply more applanation with the knob, not start at 2 and apply less applanation? 2 would also not be a very common expected pressure, as you said in your video, when the average and normal is 10-21, Unless this is a different type of tonometer? please explain if you can
Plz make the video that explains its physics. Like u promised
Loved this! I’m an ophthalmologist tech and this helped a lot. Do a vid about refraction!
thanks, will do
Why do you have to come off the cornea to change pressure?
I had this done 2 weeks after lasik surgery since I been on Steroid drops for 2 weeks I was freaking out thinking it would hurt the flap 😩 but I guess doctor knows best
So '1' on the knob is equivalent to 10mmhg?
Hi. When using the base plate do we place the goldmann into the first hole to the left when measuring the patients Right eye and the put the golmann into the 2nd hole for the patients LE
Excellent video thank you Dr.
What's the story behind all these pens😁
hahaha....i lose them a lot, so I pick up new ones whenever I get a chance
Thank you, but if i have not a fluorsciene and i utilise à White Light, what i woul to do ? Is the result correct??
dammmm gooodddd❤
Is the reading accurate if the two edges meet, but with thin mires? Btw , thank you so much for this video! Really helpful for beginners like me.
the thinner the mires the more acurate the reading
@@learnabouteyes very thin mires can cause a false low reading
