Diaphanophthalmoscopy

Diaphano-ophthalmoscopy (DOO) is a diagnostic method that uses light to examine the fundus and other structures of the eye. This method was developed in the 19th century and is still used in ophthalmology to diagnose various eye diseases.

The principle of the DOO method is that light passes through the cornea, lens and vitreous body of the eye and is reflected from the internal structures of the eye, such as the retina, choroid and pupil. In this case, light can be reflected from various structures of the eye depending on their density and transparency.

POO can be performed either with the help of special equipment or with the use of a regular flashlight or lamp. In the first case, special light sources are used that provide uniform illumination of the eye and allow one to see various structures of the eye, such as blood vessels and the optic nerve head. In the second case, a regular flashlight or lamp is used, which allows you to see only the optic nerve head and the choroid.

The DOO method has a number of advantages over other methods for diagnosing eye diseases. It is non-invasive, painless and available for use anywhere. In addition, PEO allows you to quickly and accurately determine the presence or absence of eye disease and its severity.

However, like any other diagnostic method, PEO is not ideal and has its limitations. For example, it may not be effective for some eye conditions, such as retinal detachment or glaucoma. Also, DOO may be difficult if you have cataracts or myopia, since light may not penetrate these structures.

In general, the DOO method is an important tool in the diagnosis of eye diseases and can be used both for primary diagnosis and for monitoring the course of the disease.

**Diaphano-ophthalmologist** is a method of examining the fundus of the eye, which is based on the use of a diaphanoscope. This device is designed to visualize the ocular vessels and other structures of the eye.

**The main purpose of diaphanoscopy is to:**

1. Assess the condition of the retina (the area of ​​the brain containing receptors that perceive light); 2. Check for vitreous hemorrhage; 3. Determine the presence of vitreous detachment; 4. Check for glaucoma;
