Providing a detailed view of the human eye
The Keeler PSL slit lamp is an instrument that facilitates an examination of the anterior segment and posterior segment of the eye. The slit lamp allows for a magnified, detailed view of the eye’s structure and inspects how the eye responds to different stimuli. This enables diagnoses to be made for a variety of conditions.
Keeler approached OPD to develop the industrial design of the product to be stylish and robust with a high perceived value. Block models were used to fully understand the form and determine the ergonomics.
The slit lamp is often used “in the field” and so, the design needed to be battery powered, quick to use and durable. OPD designed the overall form factor and docking station to meet these physical requirements as effectively as possible.
The user interface of the PSL Slit lamp was also designed to be as intuitive as possible with optimised ergonomics.
