A slit-lamp biomicroscope has traditionally always been used for examining the front of the eye. However, by using a condensing lens, Dr Janjua is able to use this powerful instrument for viewing the inside of the eye with a binocular view. Currently Dr. Janjua uses this technique to investigate the anterior ocular surface both in normal eye examinations and with contact lenses. Magnification and the use of stains, especially fluorescein, help make the slit lamp a vital tool in the investigation of anterior eye health.
