Slit lamp atlas, 2025th Edition (Original PDF from Publisher)

This unique atlas with over 4000 images opens up new dimensions in slit lamp examination and documentation. In his “life’s work”, the author shows how the slit lamp can be used to depict almost the entire field of ophthalmology – from the eyelids and anterior segment to the fundus and portrayal of eye motility. This results in the first book in ophthalmology that covers the entire subject with just one device.

Traditional slit lamp examination techniques are combined with the innovative documentation of ophthalmic findings using videography. Access to these videos is provided in the book. They can be viewed via the More Media app.

Innovations:

• Purkinje reflexes functioning as “landmarks” for observing changes in the eye’s anterior segment–whether for the early detection of keratoconus or when assessing intraocular lenses
• The creation of fundus overviews, some of which extending to the periphery, using just the slit lamp and image processing programs
• Documentation of objects at a great distance by holding a minus lens in front of the objective lens of the slit lamp to make it less “short-sighted”. This is useful to visualize squint or to take a picture of the whole face.

Inside the book:

• Methods section on technology
• Imaging with fundus-, minus- and without additional lenses
• Image documentation with patient-histories of up to 20 years
• 780 cases, including 460 follow-ups
