Retinal & Fundus Cameras
A retinal camera, also called a fundus camera, photographs the interior surface of the eye, including the retina, optic disc, macula, and posterior pole vasculature. These images are the backbone of screening and documentation for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, hypertensive changes, and other retinopathies, and they give you a dated baseline to track disease progression visit over visit. Most modern systems are non-mydriatic, meaning they capture through an undilated pupil using infrared alignment and a brief flash, so patients skip dilating drops and the workflow moves faster. Field of view, image resolution, capture automation, and how cleanly the images flow into your record system are what separate a camera that gets used every day from one that sits in the corner.
As a US-based ophthalmic and optometric equipment provider, US Ophthalmic builds retinal imaging around our own EZER house brand and a carefully selected lineup of trusted names, so you can match the platform to your patient volume and clinical goals rather than to whatever a single manufacturer happens to sell. Every camera we place is backed by our in-house technical and repair department, US warranty coverage, and a spare-parts operation that keeps your instrument in service for the long haul. Whether you are outfitting a first exam lane, adding a portable unit for screening events, or standardizing imaging across multiple sites, our team helps you scope the right configuration and quote it accordingly.
How to choose a retinal camera
- Non-mydriatic capability and minimum pupil size: Non-mydriatic cameras image through an undilated pupil, which improves patient throughput and comfort. Check the smallest pupil the camera can work through and whether it offers a small-pupil mode, since that determines how many patients you can image without dilating.
- Field of view and imaging modalities: A 45-degree field covers the posterior pole for routine diabetic and glaucoma screening, while wider-field and mosaic capture help document the periphery. Look for color fundus plus red-free (for vasculature and nerve fiber layer) and anterior-segment imaging if you want one instrument to do more.
- Tabletop automation versus portable form factor: Fully automatic tabletop cameras use auto-tracking, autofocus, and motorized alignment so almost any staff member can capture consistent images quickly. Handheld portable units trade some automation for mobility, making them ideal for bedside, screening events, telemedicine, and pediatric or wheelchair-bound patients who cannot reach a table-mounted chin rest.
- Resolution and image quality: Higher sensor resolution and good optical detail matter when you are grading subtle changes or referring images to a specialist. Balance resolution against file size, storage, and how the images will actually be reviewed in your workflow.
- Software, storage, and record integration: Confirm how images export and whether the system connects to your EHR or PACS, supports DICOM, and archives reliably. All-in-one units with an integrated PC and touchscreen streamline capture-and-review, while networked and Wi-Fi models suit multi-lane or multi-site setups.
- Service, warranty, and parts support: A retinal camera is a multi-year investment, so factor in who services it. Buying from a provider with an in-house repair department, US warranty, and stocked spare parts protects uptime far more than the lowest sticker price, especially for refurbished units.

Frequently asked questions
Do patients need their pupils dilated for these cameras? No. The retinal cameras featured here are non-mydriatic, so they capture through an undilated pupil using infrared alignment and a brief flash. That means faster visits and no dilating drops for most patients. You can still dilate when a particular case calls for a wider or clearer view, and small-pupil modes help with patients whose pupils are naturally small.
What can a retinal camera help screen for? Fundus imaging is widely used to document and monitor diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, hypertensive retinopathy, and other retinal and optic-nerve conditions. The images create a dated baseline you can compare over time, support patient education, and travel easily when you refer or consult with a specialist.
Should I choose a tabletop or a portable handheld camera? Tabletop cameras like the EFC-2600 and HFC-1 offer the most automation and image consistency for a fixed exam lane and high patient volume. A portable handheld unit like the MiiS Fundus Camera is the better fit when you need to image at the bedside, run community screenings, support telemedicine, or photograph pediatric, geriatric, or mobility-limited patients. Many practices run one of each.
Do you sell new or refurbished retinal cameras, and are they supported? We can advise on both new and quality refurbished options depending on your budget and goals. Every camera is backed by US Ophthalmic's in-house technical and repair department, US warranty coverage, and access to spare parts, so your instrument stays serviceable well beyond the sale. Ask our team which configuration makes the most sense for your practice.
How do I get pricing? Retinal camera pricing depends on the model, configuration, and any options you add. Use the Request a Quote option on the product you are interested in, and our team will follow up with pricing, availability, and a recommendation tailored to your patient volume and workflow.
