[Clinical applications and critical evaluation of helium-neon laser interferometry]

Exploration of macular function in patients opaque media has been performed routinely with Helium-Neon Laser interferometry for more than 5 years. Our results in patients with cataract, macular diseases, retinal detachment and functional amblyopia are reported. Accurate correlations, overestimations and underestimations are differentiated with special emphasis on overestimations.
