Abstract
The clinician should use all available techniques to examine and document the optic nerves in patients with glaucoma, both before and after pupillary dilation. One will find that the cup contour can appear different when examined using different tools. There are 3 primary tools for examining the optic nerve: the direct ophthalmoscope, the slit-lamp condensing lens, and stereo photographs.
