Slit  Light  Exams

slit  light  exams


When you visit your eye doctor, we're not just checking to see if you can read the third line on the eye chart clearly. We're also making sure your eyes are healthy!

To do this, we use a "slit lamp". A slit lamp is a special microscope and light that lets us see your eyes in 3D, both inside and out. 

What should you expect?
The slit lamp is several pieces of equipment combined into one device. It includes a binocular microscope on a base that moves in an arc, an adjustable light source, and a frame to rest your head on and hold it steady during the exam. We have a lot of flexibility with the light. We can narrow and widen it, increase its brightness, and filter it with colors. By doing this, we can focus on particular parts of your eyes.
