Dalena-Fuksa Symptom

The Dahlen-Fuchs symptom is an ophthalmological sign that is used to diagnose various eye diseases. It is named after two prominent ophthalmologists who made significant contributions to the development of this field of medicine - Swedish ophthalmologist Arner Dahlen and Austrian ophthalmologist Ernst Fuchs.

The Dahlen-Fuchs symptom is characterized by the appearance of a rainbow halo around a light source when the eye is illuminated with a special device - a camera or an ocular reflector. This sign appears with pathology of the cornea, lens, vitreous body, retina and optic nerve.

To diagnose various eye diseases, ophthalmologists use cameras and eye reflectors to determine the presence and severity of the Dahlen-Fuchs symptom. This method allows you to quickly and accurately detect various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and others.

In addition, the Dahlen-Fuchs symptom can be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment for various eye diseases, such as cataracts and glaucoma. In this case, ophthalmologists compare photographs of the eye before and after treatment to assess the dynamics of changes in the iridescent halo around the light source.

In general, the Dahlen-Fuchs symptom is an important diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, which allows you to quickly and effectively identify various eye pathologies and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
