Try using just plain old retro-illumination in color. Better if you can get the patient to look a bit nasally to get the yellow reflex from the disc behind. Also a very light green filter may help especially if you have to show blood vessel grown on the cornea… Thank you Peter Peter L. Breit, CRA.

You are using a fundus camera in attempts to do slit lamp photography? I suppose if the defects were large enough and you stained them, perhaps you might get a reasonable representation. We’ve been using the fundus camera as a pseudo external system for years but in my humble opinion asking it to be a 25x slit lamp biomicroscope is perhaps a bit ambitious.

One of the challenges that I seem to be facing more frequently is how to properly image dendrites and epithelial defects. Have been playing around with the FA settings to use a different filter with some success. How are others dealing with this?

What do YOU see at the perils, pitfalls and pearls in dealing with poor ocular surface and imaging? D.
