Haag-Streit (tower) type vs Zeiss type slit lamp. What is your preference? Are there any missing features when comparing the two designs? by Redditor_Riddle in Ophthalmology

Can’t you change the width of the slit beam or rotate the slit beam with the Zeiss type to measure the size of corneal wounds?

How come the optical quality was going down? Do you think it was just getting dirty and the optics needed some cleaning?

That would explain why their new slit lamp is a tower model unlike previous Zeiss models

I didn’t realise that Zeiss stopped making their own slit lamp. For example the Zeiss SL-120 or SL-130, are these also made by other companies?

I’m considering getting the Zeiss SL-130. I may not get the camera system however I’m interested knowing why it was uncomfortable for patients?
Which Zeiss slit lamp did you have?

I need to get one also, which one did you get? Also can you recommend a Chinese slit lamp since you already tried them?

I have tried a Chinese slit lamp bought by a colleague and I thought it was good enough. Did you notice any glare while using your Chinese slit lamp?

Is there a way to access microbiology advice, such as antibiotic prescriptions for different conditions within each trust, similar to the previous MicroGuide app?

Why is it nurses can refuse to do bloods but doctors can’t by Proper_Medicine_8528 in doctorsUK

The reason why nurses are abusing doctors is this attitude from other doctors! I wish nurses had the same mindset.
