Ophthalmoscopes
BusinessMed® Ophthalmoscopes are hand-held instruments for examining the back of the eye — the fundus, with the retina, optic disc, macula and retinal blood vessels. Focusing lenses bring the view into sharp focus. The range covers a pocket-size mini ophthalmoscope with a plastic body and an ophthalmoscope set.

Ophthalmoscope vs otoscope
The two look alike and are often sold together, but an ophthalmoscope has focusing lenses for the eye, while an otoscope has a cone-shaped tip for the ear canal. For the ear, see Otoscopes; for both in one case, see Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope Sets. That otoscope vs ophthalmoscope difference decides which one a set needs.
