SLIT LAMP

A slit lamp is a microscope with a bright light used during an eye exam. It gives your ophthalmologist a closer look at the different structures at the front of the eye and inside the eye. It’s a key tool in determining the health of your eyes and detecting eye disease.

OCT

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses low-coherence light to capture micrometer-resolution, two- and three-dimensional images from within optical scattering media. Optical coherence tomography is based on low-coherence interferometry, typically employing near-infrared light. The use of relatively long wavelength light allows it to penetrate into the scattering medium.

NC Tonometer

The non-contact tonometer (NCT) [various manufacturers] also called the air-puff tonometer is an applanation tonometer, which uses a column of air to flatten the cornea. The force of the air increases in a steady and linear fashion. The instrument contains a light emitter and a photodetector. The light emitter generates a beam of light that is aimed at the cornea and the reflected light is captured by the detector.
