An ophthalmoscope is an instrument used for examining the interior structures of the eye, especially the retina. It consists of a mirror that reflects light into the eye and a central hole through which the eye is examined.
Meanwhile, the eye doctor wears a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO) on their head to have the use of both hands to examine the patient’s eyes.
