To see the retina, the examiner needs dilating drops and a small lens held close to the eye, then repeats the exam. For retinal documentation, a fundus camera or OCT does the job better. Treat the slit lamp test as the first look, not the last.<\/p>\n<h2>Slit Lamp Market: Why Equipment Choices Are Changing<\/h2>\n<p>The global slit lamps market was USD 311.3 million in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 468.7 million by 2035, a 4.3% CAGR.
