[edit] "The slit lamp exam may detect many diseases of the eye"
Looking at this section where it lists a bunch of diseases it can detect, I'll start by saying I'm not exactly opposed to this section, but I find it curious that some things have been left out e.g. blepharitis -- indeed there would be quite a few things that a slit lamp can 'detect' - corneal scarring would be a major one, ,and the idea that Sjrogen's Syndrome can be 'detected' by a slit lamp is bogus to me (I'm not a medical professional). Sjrogen's syndrome is diagnosed by bloodwork and even bloodwork can fail to detect it; a slit lamp will only show that the eye is dry - which would not necessarily immediately mean Sjogrens.
That said, this article, while "nice", isn't very well referenced.
