Blumenthal EZ. Surv Ophthalmol. 1995 Nov-Dec;40(3):225-8. Department of Opthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: Adjusting the slit-lamp eyepiece rings is perceived by some to be insignificant for achieving adequate focus. Others assume that these rings should be set only to compensate for one’s refractive error. Observations are presented concerning the eyepiece scale setting during …

Blumenthal EZ, Serpetopoulos CN. Surv Ophthalmol. 1998 Jan-Feb;42(4):351-4. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: Adjustments of the diopter rings on the slit-lamp oculars compensate for three independent factors: the observer’s refractive error, the observer’s state of accommodation, and any instrument misalignment. An inaccurate setting of these rings will significantly affect the slit-lamp …

Blumenthal EZ, Girkin CA, Dotan S. Neuro-Ophthalmology. 2006;30:111-115. Department of Ophthalmology, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel. eblumenthal@md.huji.ac.il ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To demonstrate that slow-growing intracranial suprasellar mass lesions can be associated with optic disc cupping, clinically indistinguishable from glaucomatous optic neuropathy. CASES: At a neuro-ophthalmology tertiary clinic, a retrospective chart review identified four patients of …

Blumenthal EZ, Serpetopoulos CN Surv Ophthalmol. 1998 Jan-Feb;42(4):355-7. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT The focusing-rod test is considered the gold standard for determining the correct setting of the slit-lamp ocular rings. This method is, however, somewhat time-consuming, considering the time it often takes to locate a rod every time one switches …

Anteby II, Blumenthal EZ, Zamir E, Waindim P. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers. 1998 Feb;29(2):114-8. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Ocular ultrasonography is widely used for the evaluation of eyes with opaque ocular media. Although preoperative ultrasonography of the globe has been recommended for patients with dense cataracts, the value …

Blumenthal EZ. Surv Ophthalmol. 1999 Sep-Oct;44(2):171-2. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: A set of whitish rings observed before contact is made during Goldmann-type applanation tonometry can help simplify and speed the examination. The orientation and size of the rings are useful both in aligning the tonometer and in estimating the distance …

Orlev A, Horani A, Rapson Y, Cohen MJ, Blumenthal EZ. Eye (Lond). 2008 Nov;22(11):1378-83. Epub 2007 Jul 13. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To characterize which clinical features are associated with the occurrence of atypical birefringence patterns (ABP) occasionally seen with scanning laser polarimetry (SLP). METHODS: Sixty-one subjects, including …
