The slit light was originally designed to examine the cornea, anterior chamber and lens with a high contrast slit. While this works well for that purpose it doesn’t provide the illumination necessary for external diseases. Using the slit alone for external examination does not give you a detailed full field. We designed a side illuminator with a special diffuse light for this purpose. It is useful in all external disease exams such as dry eye diseases and blepharitis.

The light makes your slit lamp into a bio microscope. 

The Fluorescein exciter LED  improves examination and  photographic documentation of dry eye’s punctate stain and tear film coating.  A special Diode fluorescein exciter is used with a large field lens to show the entire eye! 

Upper is cobalt blue light which we have enhanced with a  special fluorescein exciter and below a yellow filter to enhance detail as seen below
