  2. Slit lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slit_lamp

    Eye examination with the aid of a slit lamp. Side view of a slit lamp machine. Cataract in human eye: magnified view seen on examination with the slit lamp. In ophthalmology and optometry, a 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.

  3. Watzke–Allen test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watzke–Allen_test

    Eye examination with the aid of a slit lamp. Watzke-Allen test is done by projecting a thin line of light over the macula with a slit lamp. [4] A fundus lens or macular lens is used to aim beam of light on the macula. [5] It is best performed in a dilated eye, projecting a slit beam of approximately 100 μm.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Herick_technique

    This image is of the angle of the eye as seen through a slit lamp. It is labelled as Grade 4 according to Van Herick's Grading system. The Van Herick's technique compares the depth of the peripheral anterior chamber with the cornea thickness, usually written as a fraction [ 6 ] however, it can also be expressed as a ratio (see table 3). [ 5 ]

  6. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    Slit Lamp Examination The slit lamp also allows inspection of all the ocular media, from cornea to vitreous, plus magnified view of eyelids, and other external ocular related structures. Fluorescein staining of the tear film before slit lamp examination may reveal etiologies of the surface of the eye, such as corneal abrasions or keratitis due ...

  7. Corneal abrasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_abrasion

    Diagnosis is often by slit lamp examination after fluorescein dye has been applied. [1] More significant injuries like a corneal ulcer, globe rupture, recurrent erosion syndrome, and a foreign body within the eye should be ruled out. [1] Prevention includes the use of eye protection. [1] Treatment is typically with antibiotic ointment. [1]

  8. Gonioscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonioscopy

    In ophthalmology, gonioscopy is a routine procedure that measures the angle between the iris and the cornea (the iridocorneal angle), using a goniolens (also known as a gonioscope) together with a slit lamp or operating microscope. [1] [2] Its use is important in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions associated with glaucoma.

  9. OCT Biomicroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCT_Biomicroscopy

    OCT Biomicroscopy is the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in place of slit lamp biomicroscopy to examine the transparent axial tissues of the eye. [1] Traditionally, ophthalmic biomicroscopy has been completed with a slit lamp biomicroscope that uses slit beam illumination and an optical microscope to enable stereoscopic, magnified, cross-sectional views of transparent tissues in the ...
