BQ GA 04050 def.pmd - Haag-Streit USA

• Long and intensive illumination could damage the retina.
The brightness of illumination should be kept at a minimum,
to view the structure of the target clearly. To avoid potential
eye damage, the examination should not last longer than
necessary.
• The retinal dose for potential photo chemical damage
depends on ray density and examination time. When the ray
density is cut in half, the examination time doubles until the
border value is reached.
• Until today, there is no proof established that slit lamp
examination can endanger the eye. Nevertheless, we recommend
to use the minimum amount of light possible for retinal
examination.
Children, Aphakics and people with eye problems are especially
endangered. If the retina is exposed to the same or
another light source in 24 hours, there is also a higher risk.
This is especially true when a retinal picture is taken with flash.
