Abstract

Historically, acquisition and documentation of ocular fundus disease has been accomplished using fundus photography, as introduced by Nordenson and Zeiss,^1,2. Fluorescein angiography has become a routine method for diagnosis of disorders which affect the retinal vasculature. Advances in microcomputer technology have now made it practical to acquire color and fluorescein images of the ocular fundus without the use of film. These images are readily accessible to the clinician for diagnostic and treatment purposes. This paper describes an ocular fundus imaging system used for real time acquisition, cataloging, retrieval, and analysis of color and fluorescein images of the ocular fundus.
