mount onto the mounting post.

7.2 PREPARING THE PATIENT
• Use an appropriate topical anaesthetic to numb the cornea.
• Place a strip of fluorescein-soaked paper near the outer canthus in the lower conjunctival
sac. After a few seconds, the lacrimal fluid will be coloured and the paper may be removed.
When using drops, we recommend a 0.5% solution of fluorescein sodium. If using a 1% or
2% solution, use a glass rod to introduce a small quantity of liquid into the conjunctival sac.
• Seat the patient at the Slit Lamp and place his / her chin on the chinrest and ensure the
forehead touches the forehead rest.
• Adjust the chinrest height so that the patient’s eye is at the correct height (most Slit lamps
have a marker on the chinrest pole for correct height adjustment).
