This course provides practical training for opticians on operating a slit lamp for anterior segment examination, focusing on patient positioning, illumination techniques, and basic structure identification.

Instructor qualifications

Course Outline & Learning Objectives
  • Instrument Familiarity: Identify key components (joystick, illumination arm, slit width/height controls, magnification changer).
  • Setup & Hygiene: Proper cleaning of contact surfaces, adjusting binocular oculars for interpupillary distance, and setting diopter correction.
  • Patient Positioning: Aligning the patient's chin and forehead comfortably, aligning the lateral orbital wall with the guide mark.

    • Cobalt Blue Light: Used with fluorescein dye to identify corneal abrasions or dry spots.
  • Systematic Examination: Developing a routine to examine eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, and lens.
  • Contact Lens Application: Using the slit lamp to assess lens fit, movement, and corneal health
