Epithelial edema which manifests itself clinically as central corneal haze, is verified by the slit
lamp using sclerotic scatter illumination. What specific technique does the examiner use to see
this condition?
a. the naked eye and an angle between the slit lamp beam and the eye of 90˚
b. the blue cobalt filter of the slit lamp and an angle of about 45˚
c. the green filter of the slit lamp with high magnification
d. high magnification and an angle between the beam and scope of 180˚ - ✔✔a. the naked eye
and an angle between the slit lamp beam and the eye of 90˚

b. residual astigmatism
c. against the rule astigmatism
d. with the rule astigmatism - ✔✔d. with the rule astigmatism
