5.7 Sources of error

Fluorescein band incorrect

Wrong distance to patient

Position too far to the right / left

Position too high / low
Incorrect pressure
Fluorescein band too wide (1)
The measuring prism was not dried after cleaning or the eyelids
came into contact with the measuring prism during measure‑
ment, or too much fluorescein has been used.
The slit lamp must be pulled back and the measuring prism
dried with a lint-free cloth (e.g., made of cellulose).

Fluorescein band too small (2)
The tear fluid dried during the longer-lasting measuring.
Allow the patient to close his eyes a few times and then re-
peat the measurement.
5.7.1 Wrong distance to patient
No semi circular image, only centre line is visible (3)
The measuring prism is not coming into contact with the cor‑
nea! If the patient draws his head back slightly, irregular pulsa‑
tions will be caused because the measuring prism is touching
the eye only intermittently. If the patient retreats even further,
the fluorescein rings will disappear completely.
Instruct the patient to adopt the correct position.
Only parts of both oversize semicircles are visible (4)
If the slit lamp is pushed too far against the patient, or if the
patient moves toward the slit lamp, the sensor arm will push
against a spring stop. The applanation surface is too large.
The image does not change when the measuring drum is
turned. Pull the slit lamp back until the uniform pulsations
of a correspondingly smaller surface show the correct mea-
suring position and pressure changes immediately cause
applanation surface changes.
5.7.2 Position too far to the right / left
1
Only part of the upper semicircle (5)
Measuring prism not centred on the eye, eye much too far to
the right.
Using the control lever, move the slit lamp to the right.
