Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy developed as a method to view a distinct layer of the living eye at the microscopic level.

[6] Since then, the features of fundus cameras have improved drastically to include non-mydriatic imaging, electronic illumination control, automated eye alignment, and high-resolution digital image capture. These improvements have helped make modern fundus photography a standard ophthalmic practice for documenting retinal disease. [7]
