The invention is a low cost, low input power eye viewing device well suited for viewing wide field retinal images through an undilated pupil. Included in the device are a converging light illumination system and an aperture stop. The converging light illumination system provides ease of entry of light rays into an eye, wide field retinal illumination, reduced glare and reduced power consumption. The aperture stop blocks unwanted received glare light not forming part of the retinal image. The device is made especially well suited for retinal viewing through an undilated pupil if the aperture is sized in accordance with the diameter of an undilated pupil.
An illumination system for an eye viewing device, said illumination system comprising:
An imaging system for an eye viewing device for viewing a patient's eye, wherein a cornea of said eye defines a first optical surface of said imaging system, said imaging system comprising:
A retinal viewing ophthalmoscope for viewing a retina through a pupil, said ophthalmoscope comprising:
An objective lens for an eye viewing device of the type having an illumination system and an imaging system including an aperture stop, wherein said objective lens comprises:
