    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Current fundus cameras have limitations in field of view and resolution.
    • Reflections from optical surfaces can degrade retinal image quality.
    • Detailed imaging of the macula is crucial for diagnosing and treating related diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate two novel ophthalmoscopic cameras based on a theoretical wide-angle model.
    • To improve contrast and field of view in retinal imaging.
    • To enhance resolution for detailed examination of the macula and optic disc.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 90-degree wide-angle, noncontact ophthalmoscopic camera.
    • Design of a high-resolution macula-disc ophthalmoscopic camera.
    • Utilizing the principle of separating illumination and observation apertures.

    Main Results:

    • The 90-degree camera achieves higher contrast by minimizing surface reflections, maintaining current resolution.
    • The macula-disc camera provides a novel level of retinal detail resolution.
    • Both designs leverage theoretical wide-angle eye models for enhanced performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed cameras offer significant advantages over existing fundus imaging technology.
    • The wide-angle camera enhances contrast for better visualization.
    • The high-resolution camera promises to advance the clinical study and treatment of macular diseases.
