25.1 Use of the direct ophthalmoscope for examination of the raptor eye. This relatively simple technique, which gives a magnified image of the retina but can also be used for evaluation of the iris and cornea, does place the examiner’s face perilously close to the bird’s beak – as can be seen here. Use of the indirect ophthalmoscope. This requires a reasonably dilated pupil and gives a wide field of view of the retina. The disadvantage is that the image is inverted, so this technique requires practice. (© David L. Williams)
