Corneal Laceration by Slit-Lamp (Photo)

This photo shows a corneal laceration under the microscope. The slit-lamp beam of light is perfect for demonstrating corneal thickness and opacities, and in this case, beautifully illuminates the contours of the laceration as it enters in an upward direction straight through the cornea and into the anterior chamber.

To get a better idea of how the slit-beam looks with this case, check out our corneal laceration video. This video also shows how the wound is seidel positive (actively leaking).
