Fundus photography in optometric practice. 1979

J W Marbourg

Fundus photography, an established facet of institutional clinic and hospital ocular care, is emerging as a valuable tool for the private practitioner. Ocular photography permits improved patient care with the additional benefit of providing a means for continuing education for the practitioner. The initial investment depends on the type of fundus camera selected and the number of accessories included in the purchase. The type of camera and accessories selected by a practitioner will vary with the mode and scrope of his/her practice. Numerous types of film are available, but Kodachrome 25 (ASA 25) is recommended. The experienced fundus photographer develops a routine of camera preparation and photographic techniques that provides a consistently successful photographic session.
