Physics in ophthalmological research

Considered one of the most common methods of examining the fundus - ophthalmoscopy, firstly, from the patient's point of view (personal experience of contacting an optometrist and experienced discomfort with artificial pupil dilation, unpleasant sensations when illuminated by a flash of bright light and subsequent deterioration in the quality of vision), secondly, from a scientific and methodological point of view: a review of existing ophthalmological research methods, physical and biological processes occurring in the eyes under the influence of bright light and submitted for discussion with doctors - ophthalmologists can introduce innovations and alternatives to existing method in order to develop effective research method that is sparing human health and exclude artificial pupil dilation. It is proposed to use the possibilities of photographing in the infrared range of electromagnetic radiation, which have informative value and safety for the study of the fundus.
