  • Publication number: 20050128735
    Abstract: A head mounted instrument, such as an indirect ophthalmoscope, has an electrically powered instrument unit and a headband for carrying the instrument unit at or adjacent the front of the wearer's head. A manually adjustable member on the headband enables the effective size of the latter to be adjusted to suit the size of the wearer's head, and is located at the rear of the user's head when the headband is worn. Power for the instrument is provided by one or more electric batteries located or locatable on the headband such that the weight of the battery/batteries is centred substantially at the rear of the user's head when the headband is worn, the battery/batteries being supported or supportable on the headband through mounting formations so that the battery/batteries are supported or supportable on the headband other than through the intermediary of the adjustment member.
