The Slit Lamp Examination
The slit lamp is an
instrument consisting of a high-intensity light source that can be focused to
shine a thin sheet of light into the eye. It is used in conjunction with a
biomicroscope. The lamp facilitates an examination of the anterior segment and posterior
segment of the human eye, which includes the eyelid, sclera, conjunctiva, iris,
natural crystalline lens, and cornea. The binocular slit-lamp examination
provides a stereoscopic magnified view of the eye structures in detail,
enabling anatomical diagnoses to be made for a variety of eye conditions. A
second, hand-held lens is used to examine the retina. (wikipedia)
