AB Familiarity  with  the  controls  is  critical  to  performing  a  slit  lamp  examination.When  positioning  the  patient  for  the  exam,  make  sure  that  their  forehead  is  touching  the  forehead  brace  and  encourage  them  to  keep  it  there.When  using  a  slit  lamp  to  remove  a  corneal  foreign  body,  first  guide  the  removal  device  (eg,  25-gauge  needle)  to  the  eye  under  direct  vision,  then  switch  to  the  magnified  view.To  prevent  puncturing  the  cornea,  keep  the  removal  device  tangential  to  the  globe  at  all  times.
