An ophthalmic portable laser slit lamp for ophthalmic examination and a method of eye inspection. The device comprises a portable housing containing an electronic timer circuit, a rechargeable battery, a laser module containing a laser emitting diode, a fixed focusing lens that sets the appropriate focal distance for the examination method and a line generator lens acting as a slit aperture. The laser beam aimed to the eye of the patient illuminates the eye with a very thin straight laser line at a fixed focal distance. The device also comprises a safety timer circuit that protects the patients eye against irradiation overload. The method of the invention allows the surgeon to detect surgical eye disorders at the operating room and helps to carry out a correct diagnosis in a much more precise and effective way than any light or laser spot device.
