	Ophthalmoscope definition - Eye Disorders including cataracts, Lasik eye surgery, blindness, glaucoma and eye allergy
		Ophthalmoscope: A lighted instrument, one of the most important tools of the physician, used to examine the interior of the eye, including the lens, retina and optic nerve.
		Helmholtz demonstrated the principle of the ophthalmoscope in 1850 using a crude device (cardboard, glue, and microscope glass plates).
		By means of his ophthalmoscope, Helmholtz could place the eye of the observer in the path of the rays of light entering and leaving the patient's eye, allowing the patient's retina to be seen.

		A direct ophthalmoscope is a handheld device like a small flashlight with magnifying lenses that shines a light into the eye to enable a doctor to examine the cornea, lens, vitreous humor (the jellylike substance that fills the back of the eye), retina, optic nerve, and the retinal veins and arteries.
		Sometimes the doctor uses an instrument called an indirect ophthalmoscope, in which a binocular device is placed on the doctor's head and a handheld lens is used in front of the person's eye to focus the image inside the eye.
		Ultrasound is useful when an ophthalmoscope or slit lamp cannot view the retina because the inside of the eye is cloudy or something is blocking the line of sight.

	Viewing retina easier with advanced ophthalmoscope - Hand-held instrument provides improved image of retina and optic ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Dallas-The PanOptic Ophthalmoscope (Welch Allyn) is a "significant technologic advance" in ophthalmoscopy because of the unparalleled views it provides of the retina, the rapid ease of entry into an undilated pupil, and the clarity of the view, according to Robert D. Gross, MD.
		The view of the fundus with the PanOptic Ophthalmoscope is five times larger than that available with a conventional ophthalmoscope in an undilated eye-a 25° field of view compared with 5°, respectively.
		The available focusing range is -20 to +20 D. Other features of the ophthalmoscope include an aperture dial that allows selection of micro, small, and large spot sizes; it includes a red-free filter and slit aperture.
