High-Resolution Ex-Vivo Imaging of Retina with a Laptop-Based Portable Endoscope.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Ophthalmic endoscopy is useful in vitreoretinal surgery with opaque anterior segments or anatomically challenging structures. However, standard ophthalmic endoscopy devices are usually large and costly. Thus, the development of a portable endoscope is necessary.

Methods

The portable endoscope consisted of a probe, an illumination system, a high-resolution camera module, and a universal serial bus (USB). It was connected to a laptop and applied for intraocular imaging of porcine eyes in vitro. Basic parameters and pictures of the same tissue target were compared with those of the standard Endo Optiks E4 system.

Results

The retinal images were displayed on the laptop screen, which clearly showed the overall appearance of the central and peripheral retina, and th
