• While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for
slit lamps, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed
into the patient's eye be limited to the minimum level which is
necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons with
diseased eyes will be at greater risk.
• The risk may also be increased if the person being ex-
amined has had any exposure with the same instrument
or any other ophthalmic instrument using a visible light
source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply parti-
cularly if the eye has been exposed to retinal photography.
- See caution notes on page
