Condition & Warranty

Used. This Carl Zeiss SL-115 Slit Lamp with Haag-Streit AT 870 Tonometer package has been fully inspected and technically serviced to ensure optimal operational performance. The iconic Zeiss Galilean optics are clear, crisp, and completely free of internal cloudiness or deep abrasions. The mechanical joystick moves smoothly along the X-Y-Z planes, and the magnification changer locks securely into each step detent. The integrated Haag-Streit AT 870 tonometer mechanism balances perfectly with clean calibration responsiveness. The package shows minor superficial signs of clinical use as expected for a used examination workstation. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.

Carl Zeiss SL-115 Slit Lamp — Used Workstation with Haag-Streit AT 870 Tonometry

The Carl Zeiss SL-115 is a highly versatile, classic diagnostic slit lamp that brings together world-class Zeiss optical brilliance and a smart, compact design. Engineered with a premium Galilean microscope body, the SL-115 utilizes a fast 3-step magnification rotation drum ($10\times$, $16\times$, and $25\times$), allowing clinicians to easily switch between sweeping corneal structural reviews and high-power endothelial inspections. Its single-handed joystick layout smoothly manages height adjustments and physical focusing vectors to minimize technician fatigue during high-volume diagnostic runs.

This special diagnostic combination includes a premium Haag-Streit AT 870 applanation tonometer, which mounts securely onto the slit lamp framework. Famously known as the Z-type model, the AT 870 stays fixed on the slit lamp’s guide block and swings smoothly into position over the illumination column when needed. This setup allows you to take fast, precise, contact intraocular pressure (IOP) readings right during the biomicroscopy exam, completely eliminating the need to move patients to another station.

Research published in the National Library of Medicine underscores that Goldman-style applanation tonometry performed on high-contrast parallel optical slit lamps remains the gold standard clinical baseline for determining objective intraocular pressure, providing unmatched measurement stability across complex corneal variations.

Why Practices Choose the Zeiss SL-115 & Haag-Streit AT 870

• Brilliant Zeiss Galilean Optics — High-contrast parallel optical path configurations deliver exceptional structural depth of field and color-true, distortion-free visualization

• Integrated Haag-Streit AT 870 Tonometer — The premier “Z-type” applanation mechanism swings smoothly from above, bringing Goldmann-standard pressure tracking into the primary lane

• 3-Step Magnification Drum — Rapid rotational changer outputs precise $10\times$, $16\times$, and $25\times$ power levels without changing eyepieces, keeping workflow fluid

• Decoupled Slit Control Layout — Slit length, width, and rotation values adapt independently, allowing for specialized lighting paths like retro-illumination and sclerotic scatter

• Ergonomic Single-Joystick Operation — Fluid omnidirectional joystick manages comprehensive X-Y tracking while rotational wrist movements handle height adjustments

• Compact Structural Footprint — Smart, lightweight design minimizes table space, fitting easily into tight exam lane layouts or satellite offices

• Patient-Friendly Architecture — Open frame construction offers comfortable chinrest positioning and a secure grip bar, minimizing patient movement during exams

Clinical Applications

• Comprehensive Anterior Segment Evaluation tracking corneal abrasions, foreign body paths, dry eye status, and early cataract densities

• Goldmann-Standard Applanation Tonometry establishing definitive intraocular pressure (IOP) baselines to confirm or manage active glaucoma risks

• Contact Lens Fitting Evaluations utilizing integrated cobalt blue filters and fluorescein patterns to evaluate hard and soft lens centration profiles

• Posterior Pole Biomicroscopy pairing the slit lamp with specialized diagnostic lenses (like a 90D or 78D lens) to evaluate macular health and cup-to-disc structures

Who This Is For

• Optometrists and General Ophthalmologists seeking a dependable, space-saving primary examination slit lamp that includes the gold standard in applanation tonometry

• Satellite Exam Rooms and Secondary Lanes needing a premium-brand, multi-functional diagnostic setup without the immense financial burden of new technology

• Private Practices looking to enhance exam room efficiency by combining biomicroscopy and intraocular pressure checks into a single patient station
