portion of the pupil while viewing the fundus through
the upper portion of the pupil. If the corneal reflection
still disturbs the observation, move the Filter Lever to

a brighter visual field, you can do so by rotating the
Viewing Aperture Polarizing Filter, but this will in turn
increase the corneal reflction.
