Ophthalmoscopes

What is an ophthalmoscope used for?

An ophthalmoscope is used to examine the inside of the eye, including the retina, optic disc, and blood vessels. It's a standard part of an eye exam, helping clinicians check for signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions that affect the back of the eye.

What types of ophthalmoscopes are available?

DocStock stocks three main types of Welch Allyn ophthalmoscope:

• Pocket LED – compact and portable, popular with students and for ward rounds
• 3.5V Coaxial – the standard choice for general clinical use
• PanOptic – gives a wider view of the retina and is easier to use through an undilated pupil

PanOptic Plus models also offer a digital-ready head, for clinicians who want to capture and share images. If you need an otoscope as well, DocStock also stocks combined otoscope and ophthalmoscope sets.

How much does an ophthalmoscope cost in Australia?

Ophthalmoscopes at DocStock range from $205 for a Pocket LED model to $3,495 for a full portable retinoscope specialty set. Price mainly comes down to optics and features: coaxial and PanOptic models cost more than pocket models, and a head-only unit costs less than a full set with handle included. If your clinic already has a Welch Allyn handle, buying the head only is the cheaper option, see ophthalmoscope accessories for handles and replacement parts.
