title: Slit lamp laser Doppler interferometer.
abstract: A slit lamp laser interferometer is described for clinical in vivo eye length measurements. The basic components are a laser Doppler interferometer, a slit lamp attachment, and a commercial slit lamp. First measurements of the axial length of the eye yielded a standard deviation of 0.04 mm and less.
