First blog from Dr John Gioulekas from new WordPress site.
This is a blog from the new WordPress site. It’s a trial site to test WordPress and all it’s features. Included in the first blog is the Canon CX-1 Digital Retinal Camera. It has both mydriatic and non mydriatic functions. Able to take fundus images without the need for dilating pupils. A green light inside the lens serves as a fixation point.
