Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Fundus photography involves photographing the rear of an eye, also known as the fundus. Specialized fundus cameras consisting of an intricate microscope attached to a flash enabled camera are used in fundus photography. The main structures that can be visualized on a fundus photo are the central and peripheral retina, optic disc and macula. Fundus photography can be performed with colored filters, or with specialized dyes including fluorescein and indocyanine green.[1]
The models and technology of fundus photography have advanced and evolved rapidly over the last century.[2] Since the equipment is sophisticated and challenging to manufacture to clinical standards, only a few manufacturers/brands are available in the market:Visionix, Welch Allyn, Digisight, Volk, Topcon, Zeiss, Canon, Nidek, Kowa, CSO, CenterVue, Ezer and Optos are some example of fundus camera manufacturers.[3]
