cycloskia

Norwegian to English Medical Medical: Health Care Paediatric report
Hi,

In the ophthalmology report I am completing, the term 'skia' is mentioned, as well as 'cycloskia', but I can't find the meaning. It is in connection with a fundus examination.

Can anyone shed any light?

Vennlig hilsen,

Best guess (based on German sources). “Cyclo” refers to “cyclopentolate” and “skia” to “skiascopy”. So “cycloskia” to a retinoscopy after dilation of the eye with cyclopentolate, IMO.
Alison Waddington (asker) Jul 11, 2021:
Hi Michele, sure. The optician has written "Litt vanskelig skia' after the co-ordinates of the eye exam, and later the sentence, "Ofthalmoskopi skal gjentas ved neste cycloskia'. I hope this helps?
Michele Fauble Jul 11, 2021:
Can you post the sentences? Skiascopy is the same as retinoscopy.

Cycloplegic retinoscopy ("wet") vs non-cycloplegic ("dry").
