Yes! 8 point exam please! I'm studying as a technician to assist the doctor and this video was exactly what I needed to get started and I'll keep it as reference.

Yes, please make more videos! And even more detail! It is sooo helpful!

I clean slit lamps all day (I’m a tech and scribe) and had no idea how amazing they are! I’m glad you showed this. Even more excited to start Optometry school!

This video is really helpful to know the basics....

This is incredibly helpful as I could be about to start my residency in ophtalmology! Please do more videos like these

I chose ophthalmology in the first month of my internship year for no reason, but literally now at the end of this month ophthalmology is my choice till now for my residency , and your videos are extremely helpful

Thank you!! I've needed a video like this!

Your videos are very informative .please keep on making more videos .

Thanks a lot! This is one of the best videos I've seen about the use of a slit lamp!

This was incredibly helpful - could you please do videos showing examples of pathology on slit lamp?

Hey this video was great! So helpful. Please do the 8 point video!

Thank you so much for your video it helped me pass my NCLE exams for becoming a licensed optician. Without your video I wouldn’t have been able to pass. Thank you so much!

Great review of the slit lamp. Thank you.

Thank you for this video!, can you make a video only on how to take the pressure using Goldmann applanation and using the tono-pen. I would really appreciate it, there aren't good videos on youtube...

Great video! Very informative for an NP in Occupational Medicine. Thanks!!

Amazing video 👍

I'm a med student currently on an ophtho rotation and this was super helpful!!! Thank you so much!

Amazing video Dr. Zac! As an aspiring ophthalmologist this was super helpful. An eye exam video would be amazing - keep up the awesome content 😊

Great tutorial Would like more on doing Goldman tonometry And 8 point exam

Helpful as a PA student too!

So satisfying!

Very informative. Thank you !

Hi, could you please recommend a full ref book of how to work with slit lamp and what can be found and etc?

This was great- Thank you!

This is an awesome video, it was extremely helpful - would love for you to do a video showing the exam itself and what we're looking for. Hope you are well!

Hello there this video seems to be very informative. I am not in the medical field myself however as a patient who sees an eye doctor on a regular basis AKA ophthalmologist. It was very nice to see some of the behind the scenes of just exactly what's going on during my eye exams. I've always wondered what the different colored lights were. The slit lamp seems to be the primary instrument in an eye doctors office. Anyways thanks for sharing this was very interesting to watch.

Thank you! It was very helpful :) Please make more videos :)

yes sir try to make the detail video of slit lamp examinations

best video

This video is so helpful thanks boss

Thanks that’s a brilliant review! Many thanks Allan Harris GP

Very useful. Tnx

Extremely helpful to me. Thanks alot for this accurate explanation and y made it really easy. Thanks again😌

Thank you so much!!!!!!

thank you super helpful!

Can you show me please how to measurements the soft toric contact lenses rotation ? Thank you

Hii dear. I really need your help. Dear is it possible to detect epi contoura surgery by slit lamp test or by any other medical test?

This is an excellent tutorial! Question: if you have a pt with a very peripheral small retinal tear - one they only notice when looking up, for example - how do you suggest visualizing it?

Do you know if it's safe to use ophthalmoscope while using the Slit Lamp? Any

Thanks this video was very helpful. I am a nurse practitioner about to start working in an urgent care. The urgent care has a slit lamp! I wonder if you have any videos on how to use a tono-pen?

Thank you

hi great video! just to check did you get round to doing the follow up 8 step slit lamp exam for this?

In medical school and interested in ophthalmology. Due to this career being procedure heavy, how might I know if my hands are steady enough for microsurgery? Also, what might you suggest to practice on to steadying hands for this profession? Thanks for your help!

Thanks sir.

how would you change the magnification? is there a magnification changer piece on every slit lamp?

Family med resident here and this was very helpful!

When I try to look through the ocular all I see is black no matter how many adjustments I make. Any suggestions? Great video. Thanks!

Hello, can the light used in eye exam (split lamp) damage retina or eyes? Thanks

Which subspecialty are you thinking about doing a Fellowship in? If you're considering doing a Fellowship that is...

useful =)

I am living in south america, I had an appoiment with an ophthalmologist, he dilated my pupils and made me fundus, I went only for a simple consultation because I am 40 now and my wife advised me for a complete vision study, 4 days after the consultation I still saw blurry, So I went to visit another ophthalmologist to ask him what was wrong in the consultation he puts into my eyes an orange drops to tint them and he examined me with the slit lamp. He also told me that everithing was right but my condition worsened because by the afternoon I saw more blurred, it is difficult for me to see and even more when I look away and before the consultation I was fine, now it is 20 days since I have been like this, maybe you think that there was mismanagement of the slit lamps with maximum lights. I am very distressed I hope you can answer me. Blessings

Please do a video on eye examination in slit lamp

Did you post the SL video?

Hey man, did you ever do the 8-point video?

i just graduated from high school i don't know why i watched this i wont need to know this for like 8 years

Thank you for this. It is helpful. My only request would be to lose the background music.

Are you still looking to a video on the basics of the eye exam?

Thanks for this ! Ain’t nobody teaching shit here in my Residency

Can a slit lamp be too bright and cause damage?

Can you talk about your internship year?

Does the background music stop, if so at what point in the video? It is too distracting/irritating for me to watch what may be a useful tutorial

Someone left your radio on in the office

Thank you🌼 It will be better without song😶

Perfect But music is distracting

Great but skip the music next time!

The background music is too distracting and takes attention away from what the speaker is saying.

the music is annoying , I cant focus

Gay bracelet. Fail.
