Basic Procedures to Capture an Image



The upper lid can cast a shadow and 
prevent the analysis of the upper 
cornea, especially with patients with 
deep set eyes and/or low upper lids.  
In this case, an assistant can hold the 
upper lid out of the way by gently 
lifting the upper lid with a 
cotton-tipped applicator.  The 
applicator should be placed at the 
lid margin.  Do not put pressure 
against the eye as this can distort 
the cornea.
