A Slit Lamp provides magnification and illumination to better view the entire eye and its structures- including the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, iris, and lens. This is the same type of instrument your ophthalmologist uses to examine your eyes, just a handheld version.

Remember when your ophthalmologist tells you to look just past their ear? An Indirect Ophthalmoscope provides a large view of the fundus, or retina. Using a special lens to focus on the structure, Dr. Bliss can see both the optic nerve and retinal vessels.
