ADC Pocket Otoscope Ophthalmoscope Diagnostic Set

 (7 customer reviews)

I am a third year medical student and have this product. The otoscope is okay, the ophthalmoscope is really bad. I have been able to visualize the fundus but it is very difficult since you cannot dim the light or change the size of the beam of light. Luckily, I am applying for orthopaedic surgery residency anyway so this doesn't bother me. I usually borrow a good one if I have concern about papilledema in a patient. If you plan on being a pediatrician, family medicine or any of the internal medicine specialties, I do not recommend this.

I recently bought this item for my rotations, and i must say that i am very disappointed. Up to this moment i have not been able to see a clear fundus with it. I've had to borrow other ophthalmoscopes from my partners, it's embarrasing. Once i see the red reflex and get closer it simply turns dark (looses focus). With other ophthalmoscopes it does not happen. Trying to save money costed me even more since i'll have to buy another one.

I use this at work every day. fits in my pocket and when seeing pts in the hallway makes it easier and quick.
