4. Press View Switching Button (#8 on camera diagram on page 19) to view the
retina. You will see an image of the patient’s retina on the screen of the fundus
camera.
5. Line up the red bars in the center of the screen. If you are having trouble seeing
the red bars, ask the patient to look straight ahead and identify the red bars (if
possible). Once the patient sees the bars, make the adjustment by asking the
patient to tell you when the bars connect to create one line. If the patient cannot
see the red bars (i.e., from vision impairment), you will need to identify when
the bars connect to create one line on the screen. Improve the view of the red
bars by raising or lowering the Lamp Knob (#14 on camera diagram on page 19).
6. Press the Fixation Target Button (#9 on camera diagram on page 19) and ask
the patient to look at the flashing light and continue to do so at all times.
7. Look at the image of the patient’s eye on the screen of the fundus camera and
find the two dots. Line up the dots in the correct position, as pictured above in
the “Focused and Ready” image. To do so, move target up or down using the
Height Adjusting Dial (#7 on camera diagram on page 19); move target left or
right using the Joystick (#6 on camera diagram on page 19). If the dots are not
focused (appear large and blurry or are not within view), readjust by moving the
Joystick up and down. Note: Be careful of the patient’s proximity to the camera
so that you don’t bump the nose!
8. Once the image is focused, take the photo by pressing the Shutter Button (#5
on camera diagram on page 19).
9. Switch to the left eye by moving the camera platform to the right. Repeat steps
2 through 8.
SECOND SET (FIELD 2 OF RIGHT AND LEFT EYE):
1. Always capture images of the patient’s right eye first. Move the camera
platform to the left to capture images of the patient’s right eye.
