To address this, Reichert has now produced a simple slit-lamp attachment which allows the unit to be positioned into the centre of rotation of any slit lamp as a Goldmann might be (Figure 2), making the measurement easier still (Figure 3). A colleague tried this out for the day in a busy city centre practice and felt the freedom to use on either the slit lamp or by hand addressed the original concern. She went on, ‘The slit lamp attachment is good as its gives the option of using it without having to get too close to the patient and is also more steady – it can sometimes be a little difficult to manoeuvre. It’s fairly easy to use and I like the fact that it shows the IOP reading inside the screen and is wireless. Patients seem to feel the puff is not as noticeable.’ ?
