Eye Steering Techniques

Notes on Eye Steering
Look at the location of the pathology on the image
itself, regardless of which eye it is (OD or OS), and
then direct the patients gaze accordingly.

Up and Down are in the same direction as the

pathology, but Right and Left are opposite.
Notes on Eye Steering cont
For example, pathology located directly Up (12 oclock)
or Down (6 oclock), the patients gaze is directed in
the same direction as the pathology (see locations A
and C on the Eye Steering Guides).
Due to the ultra-widefield view of an optomap image,
eye steering may cause obscuration of a different area
of the image, but the location of interest will be
obtained.
Instruction on Eye Steering
First, center the patients fixation on the central
green ball (as though a normal on-axis image is
being taken).

Direct the patients gaze to capture the area of

interest. (Use the Eye Steering Guides)
Instruction on Eye Steering cont...

With the patients gaze redirected, adjust the

patients position using the external camera
ring to maximize the image field of view. (i.e.
Try to center the patients pupil as best as
possible. See example on next slide.)
Direct patients gaze and then re-center the pupil on external camera view.
