A new indirect ophthalmoscope prototype.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have constructed a new indirect ophthalmoscope. This instrument has a T-shaped housing composed of an illuminating tube and a viewing tube. A fiberoptic light source provides illumination. The inverted aerial image of the fundus coincides with the plane of the viewing window of the housing. This unit can be easily connected to a television camera for television ophthalmoscopy or to an image intensifier for infrared ophthalmoscopy.

The Ophthalmoscope was developed by Von Helmotz. He published his work in1851 [1]. The direct ophthalmoscope has since being further developed and re-engineered. However the field of view is limited to about 5 degrees. Most physicians are reluctant to use it and patient education was not possible with it as only the doctor sees the retina. In 1945, Charles Sheepens developed the indirect ophtha...
