Topcon Photo Slit Lamp Bio-microscope (Japan)
Purpose
- Documentation of Ocular pathology with the help of clear digital photographs.
- Counseling of patient with regard to the pathology.
Advantages
- Patients can see the disease process and its effect for themselves. Better than manual documentation as archival and retrieval is possible.
- Better patient compliance as the client has seen the pathology and is counseled regarding the prognosis and this can be seen on review photographs.
- As with a normal slit-lamp bio-microscope the area to be photographed is focused and the illumination and field are adjusted and photographs are taken. Multiple photographs are taken and reviewed before storing in digital format.
