title: Microcomputer applications in retinal research.
abstract: A low cost microcomputer was used to: (1) word process and edit this manuscript, (2) create a patient file storage and retrieval system, (3) transcribe and store information from video display such as wide-angle fundus photographs and fluorescein angiograms, (4) plot data points in graphic display mode, (5) solve complex equations used to calculate intraocular tumor volumes, (6) search medical literature data bases, and (7) directly interface with sophisticated laboratory equipment performing complicated tasks such as multicomponent analysis and enzyme kinetics.
