Conducting an Examination with the
PanOptic
Ophthalmoscope
1. To examine the right eye, stand or sit to the patient’s right side.
2. Remove Spectacles (preferred,
but not required).
3. Look through the scope (from
the doctor’s side) with your
thumb on the focusing wheel.
Focus the scope on an object
roughly 15 feet away. (This
procedure will make any
adjustments for your own eye’s
corrective needs.)
4. Start with the small aperture
(green line position on the
aperture dial).
