Slit Lamp Examination
About the procedure
A slit lamp examination provides a high-magnification, stereoscopic view of the eye’s anterior structures, including the lids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, and lens, and with additional lenses, the posterior segment. It is a fundamental diagnostic tool for nearly all ocular complaints. The procedure allows detailed assessment of ocular health and can be combined with fluorescein staining, applanation tonometry, gonioscopy, or fundus examination to aid diagnosis. It is safe, non-invasive, and typically requires no recovery time, though temporary light sensitivity may occur if pupil-dilating drops are used.
