1.) By means of a broad beam or better a 2 to 4 mm wide Parallel Type Illumination, Magnification 10-16x, Illumination on low at 45 Degrees, Examine both the upper and lower lids and lashes. The patient’s eyes are open and the illumination source is moved at the midline of the lid.

2.) Include the patient look to their left, light source to your left at approximately 45 degrees. The slit lamp microscope is set straight ahead.

3.) Have the patient look to their right, light starting place to your right at approximately 45 degrees. The microscope is set straight ahead.

4.) Have the patient look up, retract the lower lid, examining the lower bulbar, conjunctiva and inferior cornea. The light source should be moved across to the opposite side at the midline of the eye. The microscope is set directly ahead.

5.) Have the patient look down, retract the upper lid, examine the upper bulbar conjunctiva and superior cornea. The light source should be moved across to the reverse side at the midline of the eye. The slit lamp microscope is set straight ahead.

6.) Employ a Parallelepiped, 16X magnification, light source at 45 degrees and the microscope set straight ahead. Scan and examine the cornea. The light starting place should be stimulated across at the midline of the cornea.

7.) Make use of a full length Optic Section, magnification 16X, light source at 60 degrees and the microscope set straight ahead. Evaluate and grade the temporal and nasal angles.

8.) Apply a narrow Parallelepiped, 16X Magnification, light source at 45 degrees and the microscope set straight ahead. Examine the iris, crystalline lens and the anterior vitreous body.

For all time, pull the slit lamp back, shut off the instrument, and lock it down at the end of any process.
The above is only proposed as a schematic and students are encouraged to develop any order with which they feel comfortable. It should be pointed out that all steps in the representation are relevant and should be part of the method
