ophthalmologist-icon
Confirmatory reasons
I have a question for reassurance purpose. The thing is ,it started with pain and redness after injury in left eye which could be inflammation. Then after 15 days i started having problem of slanting of vision in which straight lines appear bent. Along with slant problem , I was having pain too.So that's when I visited opthalmologist but forgot to tell him about the pain in eye. I told about only the visual distortion. He immediately used indirect opthalmoscope and dilated my eyes to look inside and said everything is normal and healthy inside the macula and retina. It looks like he was quite focused to look inside the eye .But he did not use slit lamp on me ( cell and flare effect to detect inflammation). Can I be assured that he has not missed inflammation in any eye if he used only indirect opthalmoscope and handheld lens. Can opthalmologists also grossly detect even mild inflammation with naked eye if patient has visited a doctor in person.
