Dear Colleagues,

In the midst of the AAO and the OPS Annuals, I would appreciate advice to answer a question from a pediatric ophthalmologist whose hospital needs to purchase a new fundus camera, predominantly for ROP screening.  Since this is outside my usual practice, PLEASE write any thoughts or advice to me privately at rlewis@bcm.edu .  Compare your feelings about the adaptability, learning curves, functional advantages, costs, durability, and maintenance of the RetCam, Panocam, Phoenix Icon, Volk Pictograph, and Zeiss Visuscope, and even an adapted cellphone, targeted to ROP screening and monitoring. – Dick Lewis
