Abstract: A housing is disclosed for optically aligning and securing a camera to an aperture formed through a tubular barrel of a scope. The housing has a first attachment portion sized and configured to be removably secured to at least a portion of the tubular barrel and a second attachment portion having a first surface, a second surface and an aperture formed therethrough. The first surface is secured to the first attachment portion and the second surface is sized and configured to removably retain a camera, such that the camera is in optical alignment with both the aperture formed through the second attachment portion and the aperture formed through the tubular barrel of the scope. A combination housing and camera, a method of attaching the housing to the scope, and a kit containing the necessary items is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is an ophthalmological diagnostic system adapted for use in urgent care facilities, physicians' offices, hospitals, mobile treatment facilities, and in remote areas. The ophthalmological diagnostic system includes a component for securely holding a digital camera in optical communication with an ophthalmoscope and in various embodiments may include hardware and software for analysis and storage of images or video captured using the ophthalmological diagnostic system. The ophthalmological diagnostic system facilitates viewing of images and video by a single diagnostician or multiple diagnosticians.

Abstract: Apparatus for photographing the anterior segment and retina of the eye through the use of a camera attachment designed to snap-fit onto an ophthalmoscope without permanently altering the ophthalmoscope itself. The plastic attachment houses a digital camera with video and still photo capabilities. A button on the camera allows for snapshots to be taken. The camera is connected to a laptop or stationary computer via a USB cable. The camera, which utilizes software for photo and video management, relays views to a computer and monitor, projecting the same view on the screen as a practitioner would see when using the ophthalmoscope traditionally.
