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 segments of the eye. Ophthalmologists can use it to recognize the smallest changes, anomalies, or damage. This procedure is used for the early detection and monitoring of eye conditions such as corneal injuries, eye infections, retinal detachment, or macular degeneration.

However, with its fast movements, the eye is a challenging subject to photograph; motion blur and shaking are typical image errors. To facilitate diagnostics for ophthalmologists and opticians, improve the workflow, and shorten examination times, fast and reliable slit-lamp documentation systems are required. They must provide meaningful images and be designed to be user friendly and ergonomic.
