Slit lamp biomicroscopy provides invaluable diagnostic information as to the nature of ocular abnormalities and disease processes. As such, the emphasis to be presented in this discourse is biomicroscopic interpretation, as opposed to simple observation, with each major ocular structure discussed in turn.
Biomicroscopy is an indispensable part of the ocular health examination performed on every patient. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the basic illumination technique so that the examiner thoroughly understands their uses and develops for himself a specific investigative procedure. This testing may progress from the lids and lashes to the anterior vitreous in a coordinated manner.
