ophthalmic instruments
Ophthalmic instruments are specialized tools used by eye care professionals to examine, diagnose, and treat eye conditions. These instruments include devices like slit lamps, which provide a detailed view of the eye's structures; tonometers for measuring eye pressure; ophthalmoscopes to examine the retina; and visual acuity charts to assess eyesight. Advanced equipment such as laser systems and imaging devices aid in precise diagnosis and treatment. These tools enhance the optometrist's or ophthalmologist's ability to identify issues like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal diseases accurately, ensuring effective eye care and preservation of vision.
