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

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 Peter Peter L.

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 Pat S.
