The utility model relates to an illumination device (100) for tear film lipid layer on ocular surface attached to an Ophthalmic Slit lamp Microscope, which comprises a ophthalmic slit lamp microscope. An illumination device (100) for tear film lipid layer is installed on the slit lamp microscope. The illumination device (100) is located at the lower part of the observer’s eye to illuminate the surface of the lower half of the eye surface angular membrane of the observer’s eye for observing the tear film lipid layer. The light emitted by the light source of the eye surface tear film lipid layer illumination device is inclined relative to the eye axis direction (10), and its inclination angle is ≥ 20°, which reduces the noise interference of transparent parts such as iris behind the cornea, reduces the noise, and improves the observation and imaging clarity of the eye surface lipid layer.

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an assessment unit and a setting unit. The assessment unit performs weighting on an examination item relating to an examination with an ophthalmic microscope on the basis of medical information relating to a patient. The setting unit sets an operation relating to the examination with the ophthalmic microscope on the basis of the weighting of the examination item. Accordingly, the usability of the ophthalmic microscope can be improved.
