Slides Presented at FIG Meeting 2003

CRPC Goal for year 8 of Follow-up => 100% Compliance with excellent quality

  1. Thoroughly review the photography protocols in the CLEK operations manual. Note the instructions on how to avoid tear reflections on parallelepipeds.
  2. We will require retakes of unreadable photographs in year 8. Tell the patients this may happen.
  3. Photograph and circulate the reticule. You will receive it from Gloria.
  4. Do not mix up FDACL and 0.2mm flatter than FDACL lenses. Shoot a blank between FDACL and 0.2mm flatter than FDACL.
  5. Make sure you use the correct filters for fluorescein photos:
    – cobalt for illumination
    – yellow over objective lenses
  6. You may take fluorescein photographs of Softperm lenses.
  • Aperture not completely open – PI or other clinician photographers should not think like a clinician but Follow the Fantastic Protocol (FFP)
  • Nice fluorescein (TML)
  • No blue filter, aperture not completely open
  • Nice (by PFM)
  • Underexposed, not enough flash intensity
  • Oblique, magnification too high
  • FDACL but looks like touch
  • 0.2mm Flatter Than FDACL? Looks like clearance
  • Parallelepiped too far temporal and tear reflex obstructs view
  • Parallelepiped too narrow, <1mm. If in doubt, make it wider

  • Never imaged central cornea with this series of parallelepipeds
  • Never imaged central cornea with this series of parallelepipeds
  • Never imaged central cornea with this series of parallelepipeds
  • Never imaged central cornea with this series of parallelepipeds
  • Too high, if in doubt, lower is better than higher.
  • Tear reflection makes reading virtually impossible.
  • Central cornea never imaged, all four parallelepipeds have tear reflection adjacent or on top of beam.
  • Central cornea never imaged, all four parallelepipeds have tear reflection adjacent or on top of beam.
  • Central cornea never imaged, all four parallelepipeds have tear reflection adjacent or on top of beam.
  • Central cornea never imaged, all four parallelepipeds have tear reflection adjacent or on top of beam.
  • This first, temporal parallelepiped is actually on the nasal cornea.
  • Iris is in focus. Focus should be on tear film.
  • Parallelepiped, out of focus.
  • Parallelepiped, too high, make sure beam is open all the way vertically and make sure lower cornea is visible.
  • Parallelepiped, too far peripheral.
