- Abstract
Firstly, I believe that it is the distance between the illumination and visualization systems that determines the quality of formation of crescents,[[3]] which is more in indirect ophthalmoscope than in direct and thus enables better crescents in case of indirect ophthalmoscope [Figure 1]. Thirdly, though I agree pupil dilation is a must to see crescents in indirect ophthalmoscope, dilation with cycloplegia is the only way to unmask latent hyperopes, who usually accommodate to avoid themselves from manifesting any refractive error. This might be missed if the Bruckner test is done with direct ophthalmoscope without any pupillary dilation/cycloplegia.{Figure 1}{Figure 2}.
