Abstract

To improve the usability of conventional indirect ophthalmoscope, we propose the newly designed binocular indirect ophthalmoscope which is inexpensive, comfortable, light-weighted, long-lasting, and provides stereopsis not only to examiner but also to observers. Our new system shows good performance compared to conventional indirect ophthalmoscope and also presents the stereoscopic assistant view through special visualization system.
