SLITLAMP
Slit Lamp: A Window into the Eye
A slit lamp is a specialized biomicroscope that ophthalmologists use to examine the anterior segment of the eye in detail. It’s an essential tool in diagnosing a wide range of eye conditions.
Imagine a high-powered microscope combined with a very bright light. The slit lamp allows doctors to focus a narrow beam of light into the eye, creating a magnified view of the structures at the front of the eye. These include the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber.
How does it work?
The slit lamp consists of a binocular microscope and a high-intensity light source. The light source can be adjusted to produce a beam of light that is narrow or wide, and the height and angle of the beam can also be changed. This flexibility allows the ophthalmologist to examine different parts of the eye from various angles.
During a this examination, the patient rests their chin on a chin rest and their forehead against a forehead rest. The ophthalmologist uses the slit lamp to examine the eye, looking for any signs of disease or injury. They may also use special dyes, such as fluorescein, to highlight certain structures or abnormalities.
Why is it used?
Slit lamp examinations are used to diagnose a wide variety of eye conditions, including:
- Cataracts: Clouding of the lens
- Glaucoma: Increased pressure in the eye
- Corneal ulcers: Sores on the cornea
- Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva
- Uveitis: Inflammation of the middle layer of the eye
Ophthalmologists can detect early signs of eye disease and provide appropriate treatment. This can help to prevent vision loss and improve a patient’s quality of life.
I wanted to know if all the calibration tools as well as accessories were available for each piece of equipment
This list is purely informative and in no way reflects reality. Please check the presence of the accessories in the photos below. No claim will be accepted. For more information you can consult the website
Do the photos correspond to the reference above or are they generic?
The photographs illustrating the products are contractual pictures. Photos are taken for each machine: each picture and each video are REAL ones.
Are your machines perfectly functional? And calibrated ready to cut?
The best machines and only “one first owner” models before, are choosen for being renovated process. Then, they are fully refurbished by our qualified technicians, and calibrated here in Montluçon, middle France. The products sold by SARL Digital Screen System are Second Hand market, so we encourage our customers to make an educated decision, take responsibility, and to remember that it’s still pre-owned ones, aesthetically and mechanically.
