2 Portable Handheld Slit Lamp Options at Digital Eye Center
Portable slit lamps have come a long way in recent years. LED illumination, lightweight frames, and rechargeable batteries have made handheld slit lamps a practical option for bedside exams, pediatric patients, remote screenings, and mobile clinics. Here are two handheld options currently available at Digital Eye Center.
Portable Slit Lamp S2
The Portable Slit Lamp S2 is a compact, single-hand operated slit lamp designed for clinicians who need a reliable handheld option without breaking the budget. It features 10x/16x magnification, an adjustable slit width of 0–10 mm, LED illumination, and a rechargeable lithium battery with approximately 2 hours of continuous runtime. A built-in cobalt blue filter and green filter are included for fluorescein and vascular contrast exams. Ideal for nursing homes, pediatric visits, and mobile screenings. Brand new with a 1-year warranty.
The Handheld Slit Lamp S200 is a step up in battery life and build quality. It offers the same 10x/16x magnification and 12 mm maximum slit length, but with up to 6 hours of continuous operation — enough for a full day of mobile screenings on a single charge. The S200 includes cobalt blue and green filters and features a smartphone adapter for image capture. At just over 1 lb, it is easy to carry between exam rooms or transport to offsite locations. Brand new with a 1-year warranty.
