What instruments do opthamologist use?

Ophthalmologists use various instruments for diagnosing and treating eye conditions. Key tools include the slit lamp for examining the front structures of the eye, tonometers for measuring intraocular pressure, and ophthalmoscopes for viewing the retina and optic nerve. Additionally, they may use autorefractors for assessing refractive errors and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detailed imaging of the retina. Surgical instruments, such as phacoemulsification devices for cataract surgery, are also essential in their practice.
