Digital Retinal Camera

The digital retinal camera is used to analyze and examine the interior tissues of the eye. Many systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, blood and neurologic disorders can be diagnosed with the use of this instrument. The image seen on the monitor is the ocular fundus, which is the most posterior structure of the eye. The red structure seen here is the retina. The small yellow-like structure is the optic nerve with blood vessels emanating from it.
