Abstract
We aim to discuss an inexpensive method of conducting binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy without the binocular indirect ophthalmoscope headset. This technique only requires the examiner to hold a light source between their eyes and hold a condensing lens at an arm’s length. This may be particularly valuable in resource-poor settings.
