Flightingale Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I need a pocket sized Ophthalmoscope, long story short one of uncles (also doctor) lives in a lets say poor country and his hospital isn't providing them with tools. Basically they have to get their own. He asked me if I can get him an Ophthalmoscope and an Otoscope and he will pay for it. I am planning on gifting it for him but for the life of me I can't find a single seller around me. I live in BC, and if possible I'd like it to be priced under $300.

freewheeler Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Usually you buy online or if there's an overzealous upper year med student who bought their own personal ophthalmoscope and realized it was a waste of money, they'll be happy to sell it to you.

I would buy it online if I knew which ones to buy, which ones are good and which ones are not. As far as older med students, I already asked unfortunately I didn't have any luck there.

Aetherus Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The Welch Allyn ones are very good. Unfortunately you won’t find anything under 500$. There are some kits that come with both the otoscope and the ophthalmoscope for approx 1000$. The pan-optic ophthalmoscope gets a much better view than the normal ophthalmoscope depending on what your family member is using it for. It’s about 1k.
