A slit lamp biomicroscope is an ophthalmic instrument used to examine the anterior segment of the eye, including the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber. It provides a detailed, magnified view of these structures, allowing eye care professionals to diagnose and manage various eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal diseases. The slit lamp’s bright light source and adjustable slit allow for precise control over illumination, enabling detailed examination of the eye’s structures.
