The "slit lamp" is the mainstay of eye examination and consists of two parts: the movable slit lamp, and the binocular microscope. Primarily used for the screening of the anterior segment, it is easily configured for the evaluation of the posterior segment as well. The slit lamp also serves as a platform to which many other instruments may be attached for the evaluation and treatment of a variety of ocular diseases. Below is a short list of the currently available offerings:
