_8cAUTION
Because prolongecl imense light exposure can dama ge the retina, the LLse of the device
for ocular exarnination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness
setting should not exceed whai is needed to provide clear visualization of the target
structures. This device should be used
with

light( <420nm).
Toe retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and
the exposure time. lf the value of rndiance were recluced in half. twice the time would
be needecl to reach the maximum exposure limit.
While no acute optical rndiation hazards have been idemified for slit lamps, it is
recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient"s eye be limited to the
minimum level which is nccessary far diagnosis. lnfanti;;, aphakes and persons with
diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk. may also increased of the person being
examined has had any exposure with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic
insrrument using a visible light source during the previoLLs 24 hours. This will apply
particularly i-fthe eye has been exposed to retinal photogrnphy
