Is glare a problem during ophthalmoscopy, and if it is, how can it be dealt with?
Excessive glare can result when light reflects back from a patient’s eye because of the shape of a person’s cornea, their internal limiting membrane, and/or the presence of an intra-ocula lens. Welch Allyn, however, is the only manufacturer that offers a patented crossed-linear polarizing filter to eliminate 99% of unwanted reflections.
