Clinical applications

  • Anterior segment biomicroscopy — cornea, iris, lens, anterior chamber examination
  • Corneal disease assessment — keratitis, ulcer, dystrophy, dry eye
  • Cataract grading (LOCS III / Oxford grading with slit-beam parallelepiped)
  • Anterior chamber inflammation (cell + flare grading for uveitis)
  • Iris + pupil examination (transillumination defects, iris atrophy, PXF)
  • Lens capsule + posterior capsule assessment (PCO after cataract surgery)
  • Anterior vitreous face inspection
  • Fluorescein staining evaluation with cobalt blue filter (corneal abrasions, dry eye)
  • Rose bengal / lissamine green staining under yellow filter
  • Applanation tonometry (with optional Goldmann tonometer attachment)
  • Contact lens fitting + follow-up
  • Foreign body identification + removal

Frequently asked questions

How does this compare to a Haag-Streit BM 900?

Feature-parity on the essential optical system — Galilean binocular, 5-10-20× steps, 6-aperture slit, 4-filter selection, 0-180° rotation, standard halogen 6V/20W. Differences: Haag-Streit BM 900 has slightly better lens coatings (marginal image contrast improvement in advanced pathology) and premium Swiss build quality. Price differential: $1,799 vs $6,500-$8,500. For 90%+ of clinical anterior segment work, imaging is indistinguishable.

Can I add an applanation tonometer?

Yes — Goldmann-style tonometer accessory ($400) mounts to the slit lamp arm. Same optical / mechanical interface as Haag-Streit AT 900. For clinics needing integrated tonometer + beam splitter + camera in one unit, our 5-Step Slit Lamp ($1,699) ships pre-integrated.

Can I document findings with a camera?

Yes — beam splitter + CCD or CMOS camera adapter ($800-1,500 package). Standard C-mount interface accepts USB, HDMI, or 4K cameras. For clinics wanting integrated camera + documentation, consider our 5-Step Slit Lamp with camera pre-integrated.

Do I need a table?

Slit lamp requires a table/stand for patient exam. Our Motorized Slit Lamp Table ($1,999.99) is pre-matched — 65-90cm adjustable height, universal 4-hole top plate. Manual (non-motorized) tables available on request ~$500.

What's the warranty?

1-year parts + labor on all optical + mechanical components. Halogen bulb: 90-day (consumable). 5-year replacement bulb availability from San Jose warehouse. Extended 3-year warranty available for +$200 at order.

How is this shipped?

US: LTL freight or FedEx / UPS Ground insured (~35 kg crated). International: DHL Express DDP or ocean freight DDP for 2+ unit orders. Ships to India, LATAM, MENA, SE Asia, GCC, UK, EU, AU/NZ, Sub-Saharan Africa.
