This review is from: Professional Halogen OPHTHALMOSCOPE / Otoscope Kit with Zippered Leatherette Case (Health and Beauty)

I'm an experienced hospital neurologist who uses this portable ophthalmoscope/otoscope heavily.I'm mostly looking at the optic disc and peridisc area. Recent improvements in handle and switch are useful. Field of view isn't nearly as good as the wall unit so you sacrifice for portability. The leatherette pouch is a must, and I don't recommend carrying it your jacket pocket as I'd previously done. I have now gone through three portable WA portable ophthalmoscopes and found that little seasaw switch in the front flips out of place and seems an annoyance. But eventually the light, line of sight, droops, so you can no longer see into the eye and that is fatal to the unit. Using the leatherette case might extend the life of the unit. Overall a good product.

I bought this inexpensive diagnostic kit to take with me on an overseas medical mission trip. The light bulb in the otoscope blew out on the 4th day of use and the ophthalmoscope is of such poor quality as to render it useless. I guess there are no shortcuts to quality.
