The slit lamp microscope is widely used in assessing patients pre-operatively and post-operatively with conical cornea which is a less sophisticated form of operating microscope. It is operative in terms of being used constantly in the surgeon's consulting rooms for the assessment of the patients pre- and post-operatively and therefore occupies a large proportion of the time involved in the treatment of these people. The management of these patients involves not only their local corneal disease but often more important the management of their emotional and medical problems particularly when there are associated atopic problems of eczema and asthma. Unfortunately there is no microscope or easy method in the control of these problems.
裂隙灯显微镜广泛应用于圆锥角膜患者术前和术后的评估，它是一种较为简单的手术显微镜形式。它可在外科医生的诊室中持续用于患者术前和术后的评估，因此在这些患者的治疗过程中占用了很大一部分时间。这些患者的管理不仅涉及局部角膜疾病，更重要的是通常要管理他们的情绪和医疗问题，尤其是当存在湿疹和哮喘等相关特应性问题时。不幸的是，在控制这些问题方面没有显微镜或简便的方法。
