Portable Slit Lamps

A portable slit lamp — also called a handheld slit lamp — brings anterior segment examination to settings where a table-mounted instrument is impractical: bedside evaluations, operating rooms, emergency departments, nursing facilities, and mobile eye care clinics. Modern portable slit lamps offer illumination quality and magnification comparable to standard table-top units.

Digital Eye Center carries a curated selection of portable and handheld slit lamps from leading manufacturers. Each unit is inspected and tested by a certified ophthalmic equipment technician before shipping from our Miami, FL facility. All portable slit lamps include a warranty and ship within 2–3 business days.

Types of portable slit lamps and typical prices (in stock, October 2026):

Handheld LED slit lamps (Digital Eye Center S200 and S2, with cobalt blue filter and smartphone adapter): about $1,700–$2,100.

Portable slit lamps are ideal for ophthalmologists, optometrists, military and emergency care providers, and international medical missions that require reliable anterior segment examination without a fixed exam lane. Contact us for model recommendations or pricing.
