Abstract

Purpose : This study is to test the feasibility of using trans-pars-planar illumination for ultra-wide field pediatric fundus photography.

Methods : A pediatric fundus camera (PedCam200) was designed to provide a 200° FOV in a single snapshot image. All off-the-shelf optical components were selected to construct a lab prototype for proof-of-concept demonstration. Instead of trans-pupillary illumination in traditional fundus cameras, trans-pars-planar illumination is employed in the prototype PedCam200. Patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and retinoblastoma have been tested for functional validation of the prototype PedCam200.

Results : The prototype PedCam200 provides a 200° FOV to enable easy visualization of both the central and peripheral retina, up to the ora serrata, without the need of scleral depression. Using this camera, the boundary (white arrowheads, Fig. 1A) between the edge of the developing retinal vessels and peripheral avascular retinal areas in an ROP patient was clearly observed. A retinoblastoma lesion (red arrowhead, Fig. 1B) surrounded by laser photocoagulation spots and retina beyond vortex vessels (green arrowheads, Fig. 1B) to the ora serrata (white arrowhead, Fig. 1B) in a retinoblastoma patient were also clearly observed with the prototype PedCam200.

Conclusions : By employing trans-pars-planar illumination, an ultra-wide field pediatric fundus camera PedCam200 was able to provide a 200° FOV in a snapshot retinal image. The low cost, portable PedCam200 has the potential to foster clinical deployment of ultra-wide field fundus photography for affordable screening, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric eye diseases.

This abstract was presented at the 2019 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Vancouver, Canada, April 28 - May 2, 2019.
