Summary:An ophthalmic instrument table such as a slit-lamp table having pads attached to a top surface thereof. The pads provide a cushion for a doctor's elbows and/or forearms while the doctor utilizes the ophthalmic instrument to perform an ocular examination. Each pad includes a layer of padding material and an attachment mechanism for attaching the pad to the table. The pad may also include a firm substrate panel for supporting the layer of padding material, and a covering material for covering the padding material and the substrate panel. The pad may be shaped to conform to the side and front of the table, and to an ophthalmic instrument mounted on the table. The attachment mechanism enables a user to remove the pad from the table, use the pad on another table, or reposition the pad on the table by lifting the pad by hand.
