Examination Methods

The anterior portion of the sclera about as far back as the equator can be examined directly with a slit lamp. Evaluation of the sclera posterior to the equator requires indirect methods such as ultrasound.

Transillumination can provide evidence of possible abnormal changes inthe posterior sclera. However, this method is not as precise as an ultrasound study.
