Customer Reviews of ENT Diagnostic Kit - 3.25V Otoscope, Ophthalmoscope, E.N.T Diagnostic Kit
Customer Review: MS1 - it's okay
Summary: 3 Stars
the lightbulb on my opthalmascope burned out within five minutes of use. so did the one in my roommate's. we ordered the equipment at the same time.
granted, a replacement is only 8 bucks, but it's really inconvenient and very disappointing.
otherwise, its basically sufficient. no fancy bells or whistles. good for the money.
Customer Review: Not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
You certainly get what you pay for with this kit. I am a PA student and I purchased this particular ENT kit thinking it would serve my purposes for the low cost. The opthalmoscope light was dim, and the lense had a hairline crack in it. The otoscope is not much better. My classmates Welch Allyns are by far superior. Dont waste your moneyCustomer Review: Cheap Option

One of the bulbs burned out after the first time I used it and the battery shifts around inside. The Opthalmoscope light is also dim. I wish I invested in something better.Customer Review: you get what you pay for

I bought this for medical school. It lacks any bells and whistles, despite a few attachments I find useless, but I don't care about that. While it basically works, I have some complaints that have led me to look for a new model.
1.) The plastic tips for the otoscope include a single reusable one and a small tube of disposable plastic ones. The reusable one is OK, except for being somewhat flimsy in attachment. But who wants to worry about cleaning and sterilizing it between each patient? The disposable ones are worse, borderline unusable. They do not attach to the otoscope themselves, rather they can only be fit over the reusable one. However, they were not designed for this, so the fit is poor - it is both very loose and prone to falling off, and forces a deeper insertion of the tip to visualize the eardrum (to the point of being uncomfortable).
2.) The opthalmoscope works only on large pupils. In those with naturally large pupils, or those whose pupils have been dilated, visualization is fine. Slightly lower quality than more expensive models, but fine. However, with those with smaller pupils (more than half of those I tried this with), the light and optics are slightly too offset, resulting in lack of illumination, and staring at a black retina. Yes, the light is on the pupil, but the illuminated portion of the retina is not visible, the only portion of the retina I can see is black. To compare, I switched between this product another manufacturer's model, and I did not have this problem with the other model. In the words of the ophthalmologist who taught me the exam "that model is crap".
On the plus side, it sort of works for some purposes some of the time.
