Topcon Slit Lamp SL-2ED Used — with Haag-Streit 870 Tonometer
This used Topcon slit lamp SL-2ED is a converging, Zeiss-style biomicroscope from Topcon’s SL-2E family, paired with a Haag-Streit 870 applanation tonometer so every anterior segment exam can include a Goldmann IOP reading. The SL-2E platform offers three magnification steps (10×, 16× and 25.6× with 12.5× eyepieces), a slit that adjusts continuously up to 14 mm, and built-in cobalt blue and red-free filters. For a practice that wants a dependable Topcon slit lamp with a tonometer already mounted, it is a practical way to equip a full exam lane on a used-equipment budget.
Goldmann applanation remains the clinical reference for IOP measurement: a study indexed by the National Library of Medicine compared Goldmann applanation readings taken with disposable tips and with the conventional prism, the same measurement this Topcon slit lamp and Haag-Streit 870 combination performs at the chair.
Why Practices Choose This Topcon Slit Lamp
The SL-2ED keeps the controls clinicians already know from the Topcon SL-2 series, with the tonometer ready on the microscope.
- Three magnification steps — 10×, 16× and 25.6× (with 12.5× eyepieces) cover a wide survey of the lids and cornea through high-detail inspection of the lens and anterior chamber.
- Continuously variable slit — slit width and length adjust up to 14 mm for diffuse, direct focal, specular and retro-illumination techniques.
- Built-in cobalt blue and red-free filters — fluorescein staining and contact lens fitting with cobalt blue; red-free for vessel and nerve fiber layer contrast.
- Haag-Streit 870 tonometer included — Goldmann-type applanation IOP measurement without buying or fitting a separate tonometer.
- Joystick-controlled base — one-hand positioning and focusing during the exam.
- Familiar Topcon platform — the SL-2 family is widely used, so technicians and staff are usually comfortable with it from day one.
Clinical Applications
- Glaucoma screening and follow-up — Goldmann applanation IOP with the Haag-Streit 870 at each visit, plus anterior chamber and angle evaluation with a gonioscopy lens.
- Corneal and ocular surface evaluation — fluorescein staining under cobalt blue for dry eye, abrasions and epithelial defects.
- Contact lens fitting — fluorescein pattern assessment for RGP and specialty lenses, and post-wear corneal checks.
- Cataract and lens assessment — optical section of the lens at 16× and 25.6× for pre-operative grading and post-operative review.
- Routine comprehensive exams — lids, conjunctiva, cornea, iris and anterior chamber in one sitting.
Who This Is For
- Optometry and ophthalmology practices adding a second or third exam lane with a slit lamp and tonometer in one purchase.
- New practices that need a complete anterior segment and IOP station at a used-equipment price.
- Satellite and multi-location offices standardizing on a familiar Topcon platform.
- Teaching programs and residency labs that want a durable, widely known slit lamp for training.
