Ophthalmoscopes

A Tradition of Quality and Reliability

For more than 90 years, Welch Allyn has built a solid reputation as the leading manufacturer of ophthalmoscopes. Since it introduced the first diret-illuminating, hand-held ophthalmoscope in 1915, Welch Allyn has set the standard by which all are compared.

What is the ophthalmoscope and what can be seen with it?

The ophthalmoscope is used to view the back of the eye, commonly called the fundus.  This is the only place where arteries, veins, and nerves can be seen without surgically entering the patient.  A good view of the fundus will not only give an indication as to the health of the eye, but will also tell you a lot about the patient's overall health.  The effects of diabetes, hypertension, and neurological problems can be detected and followed with the ophthalmoscope.

3.5V PanOptic™ Ophthalmoscope

The PanOptic Ophthalmoscope is a breakthrough concept in ophthalmoscopy.  Not only does this ophthalmoscope provide a 5X larger view of the fundus, but it is also easier to use and does not require panning, so you can focuse on the anatomy of the eye rather than trying just to get a view of the eye.

 

3.5V Coaxial-Plus Ophthalmoscope

With its combination of patented Coaxial-Plus optics, a unique new selection of filters and precise manufacturing techniques, the Coaxial-Plus Ophthalmoscope enables easier entry into undilated pupils over flat-mirrored optical systems.
