Optikon Slit Lamp SL 990/5

This is a used Optikon SL 990/5 slit lamp, a biomicroscope from the Italian ophthalmic equipment maker Optikon that is built to support detailed anterior segment examination in clinical practice. The SL 990/5 offers adjustable slit width, height, and illumination angle, giving practitioners the flexibility to switch between diffuse, focal, and other standard illumination techniques while examining the cornea, lens, and surrounding structures. Its design reflects a balance between solid optical performance and practical everyday usability. The unit provides smooth magnification changes and a stable joystick-controlled positioning system, helping clinicians achieve accurate focus and comfortable patient alignment during exams. Illumination brightness is easily adjustable, and the overall mechanical construction is built to withstand repeated use in active clinical or teaching environments. Sold as used equipment, this Optikon SL 990/5 shows normal signs of prior clinical service but continues to operate reliably for standard slit lamp examination tasks. It is a good fit for ophthalmology practices, optometry clinics, or vision centers seeking a dependable biomicroscope from an established European manufacturer.
