Cells and Flare +1, Tyndall's Phenomenon

Cells and Flare +1, Tyndall's Phenomenon
Slight flare and cells (1+) in uveitis. The experienced examiner is able to differentiate the intensity with the slitlamp (stage 1-3). Using laser-tydallometry it is possible to precisely measure the intensity of the flare and to titrate anti-inflammatory therapy.
