What Is Fundus Photography? A Camera Module Guide for OEM Retinal Imaging Systems
Fundus photography captures an image of the back of the eye through the pupil — the only place in the body where blood vessels are directly visible, making it valuable for detecting diabetes, hypertension, and glaucoma. The challenge is technical: the camera must shoot and illuminate through the same narrow pupil opening (as small as 3mm undilated), while keeping light low enough for patient comfort.
