Episode 1
Components of the Slit Lamp: This educational video delves into the working of the illumination tower, observation system, and the mechanical arrangement of a traditional Haag-Streit slit lamp. The video also discusses correct set-up of the observation system and use of slit lamp filters.
Episode 2
Optical Phenomena: In this video, we discuss how light behaves and how we use optical phenomena to observe the eye during a clinical examination.
Episode 3
Direct Illumination with Narrow Slit Width: Explore the direct illumination principle of the narrow slit beam, along with its usage, set up, and how to apply techniques. The video also covers common errors when using the direct illumination narrow slit beam, sometimes referred to as an optical section when examining the cornea.
Episode 4
Direct Illumination with Moderate Slit Width: Explore the direct illumination principle of the moderate slit beam, along with usage, set up. and how to apply techniques. The video also covers common errors when using the direct illumination moderate slit beam and how it can be used in conjunction with the narrow slit beam.
Episode 5
Retro Illumination: Explore the use of retro illumination in the clinical exam. The video covers usage, slit lamp set up, specific advantages, and common errors. Retro illumination is often used for examination of the lens, iris and cornea, and is a valuable examination technique.
Episode 6
Diffuse Illumination: Discover how diffuse illumination is created, its usage in the clinical exam, and the advantages to using this technique for overall observation of the eye and lids.
Episode 7
Specular Reflection: An illumination technique which focuses on observation in the field of reflected light. This video explores its usage in clinical examination, including observation of the tear film and a high magnification view of endothelial cells.
Episode 8
Indirect Illumination: Sometimes referred to as proximal illumination, indirect illumination is an often-overlooked technique. Scattered light illuminates the adjacent tissue, providing more information about semi-opaque structures.
Episode 9
Sclerotic Scatter Illumination: Sclerotic scatter, sometimes referred to as dark field illumination, uses the unique properties of the cornea as a light conducting medium. This educational video shows the usage, set-up, and clinical advantages to this technique. Scerotic scatter is often used in slit lamp imaging and creates beautiful and clinically significant images of the cornea.
