What Techniques are Used in Neonatal Ophthalmic Examination?
Several techniques are employed during neonatal ophthalmic examinations:
- Direct and Indirect Ophthalmoscopy: Used to examine the retina and other internal structures of the eye. - Red Reflex Test: Helps in detecting abnormalities like cataracts or retinal detachment. - Tonometry: Measures intraocular pressure to screen for glaucoma. - Pupil Dilation: Facilitates a more comprehensive examination of the retina and optic nerve.
