2 OUTLINE Intro history/examination Slit lamp Red eye Trauma 2

3 History Mechanism of injury?hammering *Photophobia *Pain/painful eye movements *Vision loss Haloes/vomiting GCA symptoms Flashes/floaters Contact lens wear 3

4 Difficult to assess?? Elderly Poor historian/language barriers Child 4

5 Ocular history Contact lens wearer High myope Previous surgery eg. laser (disrupt flap), cataract (endophthalmitis) PHx Uveitis PHx Herpes simplex PHx injury (RES) FHx glaucoma 5

6 Examination Record visual acuity With glasses Pinhole Count finger, hand movement, light perception, no light perception

8 Pupils Equal/round/reactive Test for Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) and record 8

9 RAPD - significance Optic nerve Chiasm Retina 9

10 RAPD -technique Darkened room Focus in distance Swinging flashlight Both pupils constrict one less brisk One dilates when light shone in it = RAPD 10

25 Anatomy of a Slit Lamp 25

26 Features Illumination system Magnification via binocular microscope 26

27 Basic Components: illumination Bulb Filters Slit height control Slit rotator Mirror Slit width control 27

28 Height Filters & Cobalt blue Filters 1.Unfiltered 2. Heat absorbing % Grey 4. Red free 5. Cobalt blue 28

29 Width 29

30 Basic Components: magnification Eye pieces Magnification changer Joy stick Lock Base carriage 30

31 Magnification Most slit lamps have: 2 objective settings (1 and 1.6) 2 eye piece options (10x and 16x) Total magnification ranges thus from 10x-25x 31

32 32

33 Step by step guide how to use 1. clean 2. practice turn on and using 3. bring in patient adjust chin rest, lat. canthus at line, forehead against band 4.prepare microscope - interpupillary distance, oculars set at 0, low mag 5.prepare light - low volt, 10% grey, wide beam 33

34 Microscope Interpupillary distance Oculars set at 0 Low mag Vs high mag How to move up/down, in/out 34

35 Light Brightness Width Height Cobalt blue 35

36 36

37 Use of the Slit Lamp Seat patient comfortably Adjust table, chair Position patient s head 37

38 38

39 Focus the Microscope by 1. Adjusting inter-puplillary distance Adjusting the eye pieces (set at 0 or dial in your refraction) 3. Checking magnification is on 1x setting 39

40 3 40

41 Focus Patient s Eye Microscope straight Light column degrees from side Microscope moves via joystick Move laterally Move in and out Bimanual 41

42 Adjust the Illumination Brightness: filters Width: slit vs broad beam Height: long vs pinpoint Cobalt blue 42

43 Trouble Shooting: unable to turn it on Check all connections 43

44 Trouble Shooting: power on - but no light Slit width closed Slit height too small Bulb burned out Bulb not positioned correctly 44

45 Trouble Shooting: difficulty moving instrument Unlock Check patient position 45

46 Trouble Shooting: difficulty focusing Check eye-pieces on correct setting Make sure patient s head in correct position Adjust joy stick in and out 46

47 Trouble Shooting: misalignment of slit and view Check magnification changer 47

58 Assessment of Depth Corneal Lesion Thin beam of light Illumination column degrees 58

59 Stain Cornea Use fluorescein (+/- do Seidel s test) Corneal abrasions 59

60 Fluorescein Absorbs light in blue wavelength Emits green fluorescence 60

61 Tips - fluorescein Don t forget to use it eg. HSV Measure size abrasion Total vs nil staining - chemical injury Fluorescein under lid upper lid abrasion Seidel s + or ve -document Self sealing wounds Apply fluorescein then wait for bit to see more subtle staining 61

69 Step by step guide how to use slit lamp - summary 1. clean 2. practice turn on and using 3. bring in patient - adjust chin rest, lat. canthus at line, forehead against band 4. prepare microscope - interpupillary distance, oculars set at 0, low mag 5. prepare light - low volt, 10% grey, wide beam 69

70 Step by step guide how to use slit lamp - summary 6. Examine lids, lashes, conj, sclera, cornea, iris, lens 7. Use narrow beam to examine corneal lesion measure depth 8. Set up to look at anterior chamber - depth, cells, flare - bright/1mm beam/high mag 9. Use fluorescein measure size lesion 10.Turn off and clean 70

71 Chemical Injury

72 How long to irrigate? How to measure ph? How bad is it? Underestimations of severity 72

73 Management of chemical injuries Immediate irrigation N. saline/hartmanns At least 30 mins (up to 8-10 Litres) Evert upper lid Remove particulate matter/debride necrotic tissue Sweep fornices cotton bud Measure ph wait until 5-10mins after irrigation irrigate until ph neutral (7.0)

74 Limbal ischaemia Test in 4 quadrants 3/6/9/12 o clock Local anaesthetic Cotton bud Watch vessels empty/ refill May be difficult to diagnose reliably 74
