A Slit Lamp is a specialized microscope used in ophthalmology and optometry to examine the front and back parts of the eye in great detail. 🔹 Definition: A slit lamp is a binocular microscope with a high-intensity adjustable light source that projects a thin beam (slit) of light into the eye. It allows the examiner to view the anterior segment (cornea, iris, lens, conjunctiva) and, with special lenses, the posterior segment (vitreous, retina, optic nerve). --- 🔍 Parts of a Slit Lamp: 1.
