Thanks, Peter.  We actually have an old Kowa handheld, but it uses film and
am uncertain about converting it.

I used an old Kowa handheld with very good results in dogs and rabbits. Some
models are also equipped  for IVFA.

There are used equipment dealers who still have some available. 

Problem is they use film and would have to be adapted for digital..

 

Good luck

Subject: [optimal] Really cheap fundus camera

 

Hello all,

One of our retina docs is asking for an extremely cheap fundus camera
solution for animal research.  He is suggesting under $5k cheap.  He has
forwarded me an article from a Paul Yates, MD PHD who took a Panasonic FZ20
and with some engineering skills rigged a fundus camera for use in the ED.
Any other solutions that are practical and relatively easy?

Thanks!

Pat
