Abstract

This one minute test, which does not require instruments and was performed in isolation by non-medical staff, detected 74% of cases of iritis out of 426 patients with miscellaneous eye complaints.It should enable doctors to detect and refer patients with iritis earlier and so prevent potentially blinding complications such as cataract and glaucoma.
