Slit Lamp Exam Findings
Components: • Lids • Adnexa • Conjunctiva • Cornea • Anterior Chamber • Iris • Lens
Lids Lids
Lids Normal
Lids Ectropion • Eyelid turning outward • Document with location (I.e. “ectropion LLL”)
Lids Entropion • Eyelid turning inward • Document with location (I.e. “entropion LLL”)
Lids Dermatochalasis (D’chalasis) • Redundancy of skin in eyelids • Atrophy of elastic tissue
Lids Upper Lid Folds • Increased amount of folds • Document as: “high UL folds”
Lids Hooding • When upper lid comes over lid margin • Document as: “Hooding”
Lids Ptosis • Drooping of the upper eyelids • Document with location (I.e. “Ptosis RUL”)
Lids Papilloma • Growth on eyelid • Document with location (I.e. “papilloma RUL”)
Lids Trichiasis • Inward growth of eyelashes • Document with location (I.e. “trichiasis RLL”)
Lids Chalazion • Inflamed lump in meibomian gland
Lids Blepharitis • Inflammation of eyelid margins • Redness, swelling, itching, crusting
Lids Ecchymosis • Bruising • Document with location (I.e. “ecchymosis RUL”)
Adnexa Normal
Adnexa Decreased Tear Lake • Tear lake not smooth • Also can have increased break up time • Document as: “decreased tear lake” • Misc – TBUT = 10 sec
Conjunctiva Quiet
Conjunctiva Injection • Tissue redness and swelling
Conjunctiva Sub-Conjunctival Hemorrhage (SCH) • Blood below conjunctiva and above sclera • Document as: “SCH” with location (i.e. “SCH OD temp, inf, nas”)
Conjunctiva Hyperemia • Congestion of blood vessels • Causes redness
Conjunctiva Bleb • S/P trabeculectomy for glaucoma • Document if flat or formed
Cornea Normal
Cornea Arcus • White deposit of cholesterol
Cornea Edema • Swelling of tissue from fluid accumulation
Cornea Superficial Punctate Keratitis (SPK) • Small superficial corneal lesions • Often due to dryness • Usually seen with staining
Cornea Anterior Stromal Scarring • Scarring on the Stroma (middle layer of the cornea)
Cornea Amiodarone Whorls • Deposits from long-term use of Amiodarone
Cornea Abrasion • Scraped area of corneal surface • Accompanied by loss of epithelium • Usually seen with staining
Cornea Astigmatic & Radial Keratomtery (AK / RK) cuts • S/P AK or RK • Document with location (I.e. “AK cuts OU”)
Cornea Keratic Precipitates (KP) • Inflammatory cells and white blood cells that enter aqueous and adhere to corneal endothelium
Cornea Guttata • Small whitish hyaline deposits on inner surface of cornea
Cornea Lasik Flaps • S/P Lasik • Location = direction of flap opening • Document with location (I.e. “Lasik flap inf. – healed”)
Cornea Neovascularization • New blood vessel growth • Document location (I.e. “OD inf.”)
Cornea Pinguecula • Benign yellowish-brown elevation of sub-conjuntival tissue on either side of cornea
Cornea Pterygium • Wedge-shaped growth in bulbar conjunctiva • May advance over the cornea
Cornea PK • S/P corneal transplant • Note sutures: • None • 360* • Running 360*
Cornea Suture • occ. used S/P PEIOL • Document with location (I.e. “suture temp.”)
Cornea Descemets Folds • Folds in the Descemet’s membrane
Cornea Ulcer • Area of epithelial loss • Associated with inflammatory cells in cornea & AC
Cornea Band Keratopathy • Horizontal band of calcium deposits • In superficial layer of cornea
Cornea Haab’s Striae • Breaks or tears in Descemet’s membrane • Usually from forceps use during delivery
Anterior Chamber Deep & Quiet • Deep = Large distance between both beams • Quiet = No abnormal matter in AC • Document as “D&Q”
Anterior Chamber Shallow • Minimal distance between both beams • Document as “shallow”
Anterior Chamber Moderate Depth • Moderate distance between both beams • Document as “moderate depth”
Anterior Chamber Closed • Irido-Corneal touch • Document as “Closed”
