METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE PATHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE SCHLEMM'S CANAL

摘要

A method and device are proposed for carrying out ophthalmologic analyses especially for the pathological evaluation of the Schlemm's canal that has been exposed through a scleral flap and into which an micro catheter is inserted that also includes a medium line by means of which medium is brought into the lumen of the Schlemm's canal for dilating the lumen and a light guide for illumination such that analog images of the dilated lumen, the inner wall of the trabecular tissue and the veins of the aqueous humor can be taken by a camera and transmitted to an outside monitor for visual evaluation.
