retina "selfie" captured with my cell phone and 20D lens

[epalacios]

Hey guys. Last week after dilating in lab, I decided to try to capture a video of my retina. The results were remarkable! The director of communications at my optometry school posted the video to our Facebook page, and it got over 176,000 hits in less than a week.

Here's the YouTube link to the video:

I think it has some clinical value too, as it can be useful to show our patients what we're actually looking at, and video has more of a "real" element to it (rather than dry patient education brochures.) Plus, I guess you could offer to snap a video for them with their own cell phone while you have your 20D out after BIO, and they'd have something to take home with them!
Take a look, and feel free to share!

I first heard about this on Facebook. That was you? Cool! I believe I "liked" it.
