Slit-lamp microscope as one of the most frequently used diagnostic tools in ophthalmology, is widely employed to examine structures such as the eyelid, conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, lens and anterior vitreous body.Slit-lamp microscopy examination on small animals requires a complex series of steps and procedures, which can be influenced by variations between researchers and their operations, potentially affecting data comparability and result accuracy.At present, there is still a lack of standardized operating guidelines for small animal slit-lamp microscope data collection.Therefore, our expert group combined the working principles and practical experience of slit lamp microscopy, and discussed the operation procedures and precautions for small animal slit lamp data collection through online and offline meetings.After many discussions and revisions, Expert consensus on data acquisition for small animal slit lamp microscopy (2025) was formed to provide clear operating steps and standards to ensure that researchers use consistent methods in different experiments, thereby improving the reliability and repeatability of the data.This expert consensus is of great significance for promoting scientific research, ensuring data quality, facilitating discipline development, and providing education and training.
