An ophthalmic slit lamp is a specialized microscope used by eye care professionals to examine the internal structures of the eye. It shines a focused beam of light through the pupil to illuminate and magnify parts like the cornea, iris, and lens, helping diagnose conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, or corneal abnormalities.
These devices are typically regulated as medical instruments, often requiring compliance with standards like ISO 13485 or FDA 510(k) clearance depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as standalone diagnostic tools, often used in clinics, hospitals, or private practices for routine eye examinations and specialized measurements.
