Ophthalmic endoscopy continues to evolve as a powerful technique, especially in the domains of vitreoretinal and glaucoma surgery, namely endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation. Ophthalmic application of endoscopy dates back to 1934, when Thorpe designed an instrument for the removal of nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies by combining a Galilean telescope and an illumination source for direct monocular visualization via a 6.5-mm diameter shaft and an 8-mm scleral incision.
