Abstract

An improved coaxial ophthalmoscope incorporating both a light trap for absorbing substantially all of the light not utilized for illuminating the eye under examination, and thereby preventing the unused light from reflecting back into the eye of the viewer thus obscuring the vision thereof, and a filtering means for filtering out the light reflected from the cornea of the eye under examination but allowing the light reflected from the retina to pass therethrough.
