This present invention comprises a Galilean tele-microscope lens assembly configured to attach to the front of a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO) either permanently or by means of a clip or other suitable detachable mechanism, and to enhance an image of a patient's ocular fundus produced by a condensing lens hand-held by the examiner, at their arm's length, in front of the patient's eye. The lens assembly of the present invention magnifies the examiner's view of the hand-held condensing lens itself, and thus magnifies the fundus image produced by the hand-held condensing lens, enabling improved appreciation of finer details in an examination. In addition to improving BIO examinations in general, the present invention is especially advantageous for patients who have disabilities, are wheelchair bound, are children, or are patients of “mission” based ophthalmoscopy services provided in developing, “emerging economy” countries where other examination equipment may not be available.
