6.2 PREPARING THE PATIENT AND USING THE SLIT LAMP
Parts of the slit lamp coming in to contact with the patient should be
cleaned in accordance with these instructions prior to the examination.
Keeler recommends the use of disposable hygienic chinrest tissues on the
Chinrest before the patients place their chin on it.
Never use the instrument if visibly damaged and periodically inspect it for
signs of damage or misuse.
1. The patient should be as comfortable as possible and with the patient in the chinrest
adjust the chinrest height (6) so that the patient’s eyes are level with the height marking
(3) on the chinrest support.
2. Focus the eyepieces using the test bar as described earlier, and if you have not already
done so set them to your interpupillary distance by holding both eyepiece bodies and
rotating them inwards or outwards until they are correct for your PD.
3. Switch on the illumination, making sure the rheostat (21) is set to a low level to
minimise the patient’s exposure to light hazard.
4. Rotate the joystick (20) until the light beam is at eye level.
5. Holding the joystick vertical, move the slit Lamp base towards the patient until the slit
beam appears focused on the patient’s cornea.
6. Adjust slit width (14), magnifi cation (27), slit rotation (13) and slit angle etc. as required
to perform the examination.
7. To offset the slit for sclerotic scatter or retro illumination, rotate the illumination prism
assembly (11) to the left or right as desired.
8. When using the blue fi lter (12) the user may wish to insert the yellow barrier fi lter (9).
The yellow barrier fi lter is out when the knob is up, in when it is down.
9. When the examination is complete, set the rheostat to a low level and switch off the Slit
Lamp.
