    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Fundus photography is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring posterior eye conditions.
    • Existing fundus cameras can be expensive and inaccessible in some clinical environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the assembly and utility of a low-cost, adaptable camera system for fundus photography.

    Main Methods:

    • The camera system was constructed using a standard indirect ophthalmoscope, a single-lens reflex camera, and readily available additional components.
    • The system was tested for its ability to capture images of the posterior segment.

    Main Results:

    • The assembled camera successfully captured moderate-detail images of the fundus and optic nerve head.

  • The system demonstrated versatility, functioning effectively in office, hospital room, and operating room settings.

    • Conclusions:

    • A functional and affordable fundus camera can be created from accessible equipment.
    • This adaptable imaging solution can enhance diagnostic capabilities in diverse clinical locations.
