This disclosure provides an ophthalmic observation system for visualizing the surface and internal structure of a medical patient's eye. A particular embodiment provides an ophthalmic observation system including an ophthalmic microscope, a gonioscopy device configured to relay images of the inner periphery of the patient's eye to the ophthalmic microscope, and a robotic arm configured to hold the gonioscopy device in a predetermined position relative to the ophthalmic microscope and the patient's eye, and to relay images of the inner periphery of the patient's eye to the ophthalmic microscope for the user to view.
The invention relates to an ophthalmic microscope, in particular a slit-lamp microscope, comprising a microscope unit (1) with a slit illumination (2), a control unit (3) for controlling the microscope and an input device (4) for entering control commands by a user. The input device (4) comprises a first rotatable wheel and a second rotatable wheel arranged on the same rotation axis in series. Said arrangement of wheels allows a comfortable control of the microscope by a user.
