title: Telescopic eyepieces in indirect ophthalmoscopy.
abstract: A new attachment that can be used with optimized ophthalmoscopes is described. Readily removable and interchangeable eyepieces containing small, lightweight Galilean telescopes approximately double the magnification. The influence of this device on some of the optical properties of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy including magnification, field of view, brightness of the fundus image, and stereopsis, are reviewed briefly.
