[The TV head ophthalmoscope for videodocumentation of fundus changes].

The present paper describes the TV head ophthalmoscope, a logical further development in indirect ophthalmoscopy. It comprises a modern indirect binocular head ophthalmoscope and a micro-CCD color camera. The instrument enables all structures on the fundus to be observed as far as the periphery. Objects seen dynamically include detached retina and vitreous membranes. Practical fields of application are retinal detachment surgery and for demonstration and training in indirect ophthalmoscopy.
