Additive manufacturing has been extensively used during the COVID19 pandemic to design and produce protection equipment. During clinical examinations using slit lamps, ophthalmologists are at risk of being contaminated, and the device itself is exposed to viral contamination. Several solutions have already been proposed for fixing transparent shields on the physician’s side. Here we propose a 3D printed device fixed on the chin rest on the patient’s side, aiming at limiting viral spread both on the lamp itself and towards the physician.
