A slit lamp is a microscope with a light attached that allows the doctor to closely examine the eye. This instrument is used to view the structures of the eye, such as the cornea, iris, and lens.
With special lenses, it is possible to examine the back of the eye as well. A slit lamp gives the eye practitioner an amazing view of the inside of the eyes.
