    Author: Chong YY, Kosmin A, Barampouti F, Kodati S.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie); 2008; 40(3-4):137-40. PubMed ID: 19230349.
    Abstract:
    The slit lamp can be a source of cross infection in the clinic setting. We identified the bacteria flora on slit lamps and determined the risk of transmission to patients. Frequent cleaning of the slit lamp especially after treating infected cases can decrease the transmission of organisms.
