The East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust Ophthalmology Department has launched a fundraising campaign to raise £36,000 to buy a state-of-the-art slit lamp to improve the diagnosis of eye illnesses. This campaign will run until World Sight Day on 8 October.

What is Slit Lamp Imaging?
Slit Lamp Imaging is the photography of the structures of the eye with a specially designed horizontally mounted microscope. The slitlamp can be used to isolate structures in the eye, and gives much better and detailed photographs - improving the speed and accuracry of diagnoses.
