Slit-lamp biomicroscopy is a diagnostic test that allows for detailed examination of the eye's external and internal structures. It is often used to identify the presence of foreign matter or injuries to the eye. Refraction tests assess vision problems, Schirmer tear tests evaluate tear production, and computed tomography of the head is not necessary in evaluating foreign matter in the eye.
