Slit lamp biomicroscopy with a handheld lens is a detailed microscope examination that allows the optometrist to look beyond the surface of the eye and closely assess the retina and optic nerve. This part of the exam is essential for detecting early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal disease, and optic nerve damage, often before any vision symptoms appear! #IslandEyecare #SlitLamp #DrAnitaNarang #Optometrist #VictoriaBC | Island Eyecare

Ever wonder how eye doctors get such a detailed view of your eyes? That’s the slit lamp in action, allowing them to carefully examine every part of the eye and spot even the smallest changes in eye health. Sometimes, your eye care professional will dilate your eyes and use the slit lamp to see deeper into the back of the eye, providing a clearer, more complete view of the retina and optic nerve to help detect conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other health concerns early on. #he
