Description
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. The Haag Streit BQ 900 slit lamp is the standard for those who require the most demanding slit lamp microscopy. Its wide range of optional accessories provides comfortable conditions for any examination. Values include VAT. Additional information: Should the Authority had awarded to another supplier it would need to purchase an additional anterior and retinal imaging sensors and Applanation tonometers, teaching arms etc and the cost would be prohibitive.
