Description
Developed in Canada, the LightX EyeClip is a clip-on digital imaging solution that connects directly to the oculars of virtually any slit lamp. Once installed, it provides a realistic 3D slit lamp viewing experience and allows clinicians to capture and retain images from patient examinations.
By adding digital image capture to an existing slit lamp, EyeClip can help practices improve clinical documentation, facilitate case reviews, and create visual aids that support patient education. Captured examination information can also be used in live or asynchronous teleconsultation workflows, helping clinicians collaborate when participants are not in the same location.
EyeClip is designed around a flexible, removable format. Unlike a permanently integrated slit lamp camera, it can be attached when required and removed when not in use. This makes the system useful for clinics seeking a portable approach to slit lamp photography or for teams that do not need imaging active during every examination.
The LightX system also includes secure cloud storage, allowing authorized users to access stored eye examinations when needed. This supports traceability, remote patient review, and continuity across modern eye care workflows.
The EyeClip package includes the EyeClip, an LED Smart Box Kit, and two iPhone 14 devices. A LightX App annual licence is required.
FEATURES
- Clip-On Slit Lamp Imaging: EyeClip attaches directly to the slit lamp eyepieces, converting virtually any slit lamp into a digital imaging system when required.
- Removable, Flexible Design: The system can be installed for imaging and removed when it is not needed. This offers greater flexibility than a permanently integrated camera configuration.
- Anterior Segment Imaging and Documentation: Capture images observed during slit lamp examinations to support clinical documentation, case review, and longitudinal recordkeeping.
- Live and Virtual Teleconsultation: Share examination views during live consultations or make stored examinations available for review at another time.
- 3D Slit Lamp Imaging Experience: EyeClip is designed to capture realistic 3D views that reflect the binocular experience of examining the eye through a slit lamp.
- Remote Patient Reviews: With securely stored examinations, clinicians and consulting professionals in different locations can review remotely.
- Patient Education Support: Captured images can be used as visual aids when explaining observations, treatment discussions, or follow-up requirements to patients.
- Examination Traceability: Stored visual records create a traceable history that can support documentation and comparison across visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is EyeClip a digital slit lamp camera?
EyeClip functions as a clip-on digital slit lamp camera system. Rather than being permanently built into the slit lamp, it attaches to the oculars when imaging is required.
Can EyeClip be used for anterior segment imaging?
EyeClip can document views obtained during slit lamp examinations, including examinations of visible anterior ocular structures.
Does EyeClip require a beam splitter?
EyeClip attaches to the oculars of the slit lamp. While a beam splitter is not required, practices with a beam-splitter-equipped slit lamp may also wish to consider the integrated LightX EyeCaster.
Can EyeClip support teleophthalmology?
Yes. EyeClip supports live or virtual teleconsultation and remote patient-review workflows. It may help clinicians share or review examination imagery when participants are in different locations.
