The Slit Lamp Applications for Biomicroscopy and Videography [Mixed media product]

In this book the author describes in detail the history, construction, and examination potential of the slit lamp. In particular, however, he presents a new approach  videography  that allows the ophthalmologist to document all eye diseases with the slit lamp and a video camera in a practicable, rapid, and affordable manner. The necessary methods, techniques, and equipment, including converging, diverging, and contact lenses, are clearly explained in the text and four didactic videos. The 20 most important videographic settings are described, and recipes for their use are presented, along with diagnostic tips. The accompanying collection of clinical images represents the worlds first ever general atlas of ophthalmology from the perspective of the slit lamp. It is the authors hope that this introduction to ophthalmological videography, with its many images never previously produced with a slit lamp, will stimulate others to exploit the approachs potential.? 

This book presents a new approach of videography that allows for the documentation of all eye diseases with the slit lamp. It fully describes the techniques, methods, and equipment as well as documents the 20 most important videographic settings.
