For example, consider a case where the observer’s eye
is myopic and the patient’s eye is hyperopic.
(-5D): Correction of Observer’s Myopia
(+3D): Correction of Patient’s Hyperopia
–> (-2D): -4D Correction of Accommodation
In this case, the observer should use the -4D Rekoss
lens to examine the patient’s eyes in order to obtain
a sharp fundus image. The power of the Rekoss lens
is determined by the extent of the observer’s and the
patient’s refractive errors and the distance between the
ophthalmoscope and the patient’s eye, etc.
The actual focussing is performed by rotating the
Rekoss Disc while viewing the patient’s fundus until
the observer achieves the sharpest focus of the fundus
images. In case of high myopia or hyperopia, either a
minus or plus auxiliary lens should be added.
The Diopter Indicator shows the combined dioptric
power of the Rekoss and the auxiliary lenses. The red
figure represents minus power, while the green figure
represents plus power. The ranges of powers that are
covered are shown below.
