Fundus cameras are a useful tool in determining the health of the eye and detecting defects such as diabetic retinopathy. Current fundus cameras are a common tool used in ophthalmologists’ offices, but rarely used elsewhere. The implementation of a more compact, cost-efficient, intuitive camera would allow this tool to be implemented in General Practitioners’ offices. This would allow patients to get screenings during regular checkups.

The goal of this project is to develop a working prototype of a low cost fundus camera. The camera must comply with all Federal regulations and consistently obtain high quality images of the retina. Additionally, the device will be optimized for ease of use, portability.
