We present a portable confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) for high-resolution, widefield retinal imaging that uses a low-backreflection double-clad fiber for both illumination and collection to maintain robust alignment of confocal pinholes in a handheld form factor. The cSLO uses a new type of "hybrid spiral" scan pattern that is a hybridization of a constant angular velocity spiral with a constant linear velocity spiral. The hybrid spiral offers efficiency advantages over traditional raster scan patterns while serving as a natural fixation target. Feasibility of the system is demonstrated by imaging a human volunteer.
