[Polarization method of examining the fundus and anterior chamber of the eye].

The method using polarization light proved to be efficient for examining eye tissues. It provides better contrast of some ocular elements, and thus, more reliable detection of pathological changes, more complete extinction (relaxation) of reflexes which hamper the observation and photograph of different eye parts. To interprete the patterns observed on the fundus in crossed polaroids, a matrix method is recommended for calculation of intensity of light passing through the optically-anisotropic layers of the eye ball.
