IDS case study: A deep look into the eye
Eye diagnostics in a nutshell: precision with slit lamp systems
High-end image documentation system for eye diagnostics using digital slit lamp photography.
Slit lamp examination is an indispensable tool in ophthalmology for the early detection of even the smallest changes in the eye - from corneal injuries and lens opacities to macular degeneration. But precise image documentation requires powerful technology.
The slit lamp examination is one of the most important diagnostic techniques in ophthalmology. It enables a detailed examination of the anterior, middle and posterior segment of the eye. Ophthalmologists can use it to detect the smallest changes, anomalies or damage. This procedure is used for the early detection and monitoring of the progression of eye diseases such as corneal injuries, eye infections, retinal detachment or macular degeneration. However, the eye, with its rapid movements, is a challenging subject to photograph; motion blur and shaking are typical image errors. Fast and reliable slit lamp documentation systems are needed to make diagnostics easier for ophthalmologists and opticians, improve the workflow and at the same time shorten examination times. They must provide meaningful images and be user-friendly and ergonomically designed.
OCULUS Optikgeraete GmbH from Germany offers an ideal solution with one of the world's smallest and lightest image documentation systems for slit lamps. Thanks to an integrated USB3 Vision industrial camera from IDS, the system delivers sharp, high-resolution images and a user-friendly design - for faster diagnoses and efficient workflows.
