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

Frucht-Pery J, Landau D, Raiskup F, Orucov F, Strassman E, Blumenthal EZ, Solomon A. J Refract Surg. 2007 Mar;23(3):244-51. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To report the clinical course of early transient reduction of uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) after LASIK surgery resulting from steroid-induced elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP).

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

Sample PA, Bosworth CF, Blumenthal EZ, Girkin C, Weinreb RN. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2000 Jun;41(7):1783-90. Department of Ophthalmology, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla 92093-0946, USA. ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: To compare short-wavelength automated perimetry, frequency-doubling technology perimetry, and motion-automated perimetry, each of which assesses different aspects of visual function, in eyes with glaucomatous

Pe’er J, Blumenthal EZ, Frenkel S. Br J Ophthalmol. 2007 May;91(5):660-2. Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, PO Box 12000, 91120 Jerusalem, Israel. peer@md.huji.ac.il ABSTRACT: AIM: To obtain iris biopsy samples of sufficient quality and quantity for histopathological analysis using a novel punch biopsy technique. METHODS: Two patients underwent iris tumour biopsy at an

Glaucoma Center, University of California-San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr, La Jolla, CA 92093-0946, USA. ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To compare progression in short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) and white-on-white (standard) perimetry in eyes with progressive glaucomatous changes of the optic

Blumenthal EZ, Williams JM, Weinreb RN, Girkin CA, Berry CC, Zangwill LM Ophthalmology. 2000 Dec;107(12):2278-82. Glaucoma Center and Diagnostic Imaging Laboratory, Department of Ophthalmology, University of California, San Diego, USA. ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reproducibility of optical coherence tomograph (OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements in normal and glaucomatous eyes by means of
