    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neonatal Care
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Peripheral fundus examination in infants, especially premature neonates, presents unique challenges due to anatomical constraints.
    • Existing ophthalmic instruments may not be optimally designed for the delicate and small features of infant eyes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new speculum specifically designed for ophthalmic examinations in small infants.
    • To highlight the advantages of this new device for peripheral fundus examination in premature neonates.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a newly developed speculum.
    • Emphasis on its lightweight construction and reduced dimensions.
    • Application in peripheral fundus examination of premature infants.

    Main Results:

    • The new speculum is well-suited for examining the eyes of small infants.
    • Its lightweight and compact design are advantageous for peripheral fundus visualization in premature neonates.

    Conclusions:

    • The described speculum represents a valuable new tool for neonatal ophthalmology.
    • It facilitates improved examination of the peripheral fundus in premature infants, potentially aiding in early detection of retinopathy of prematurity.
