Optical attachment to the O'Malley photocoagulator.

An optical attachment (originally developed for the Zeiss-Oberkochen photocoagulator), which provides slitlamp observation and energy delivery through a fundus contact glass, can also be coupled to the Clinitex Log-2 photocoagulator described by O'Malley. Excellent image quality out to the far periphery is obtained. The system has been successfully used for the prophylactic treatment of retinal detachment in the presence of retinal hole formation, the treatment of various conditions of diabetic retinopathy, localized fluid accumulations occurring after retinal surgery, and irradiation of the iris.
