Question:
Can repeated slit lamp exams in children be harmful?
Answer:
A slit-lamp (a special type of microscope that uses a bright light to look at the eye) exam is an important part of an ophthalmologic exam. Although it cannot be done easily in all children, it should not be harmful no matter how often it is performed.
