Approach to Fundoscopy / Ophthalmoscopy

We believe all clinicians should know how to examine the retina. This video by Dr. Errol Ozdalga will show you how!
The retina is the only portion of the central nervous system visible from the exterior. Likewise the fundus is the only location where vasculature can be visualized. So much of what we see in internal medicine is vascular related and so viewing the fundus is a great way to get a sense for the patient’s overall vasculature. But the fundoscopic exam can discover pathological process otherwise invisible, examples are plentiful, and include recognizing endocarditis, disseminated candidemia, CMV in an HIV infected patient, and being able to stage both diabetes and hypertension.

Hello Dr Daaga. This is a very nice and practical video on the fundoscopy. However pIease Sir, I don't understand the 15° positioning you mentioned. And also you said if we wanted to look at the upper retina, we could tell patient to look up. I'd have thought it'll be the other way round.

[@shaiksaidubasha2937]

Eye ball moves around a central point .
If patient looks upwards , the eyeball moves along horizontal axis , this makes the upper part of retina to come to center , making it easy to visualise.
I hope it helps .

What do ophtho docs think about non-ophtho docs dilating eyes, given anterior chamber depth is normal on exam?

[@wholeNwon]

Panoptic instrument is interesting. Between uses, how do you clean the rubber cuff that makes contact with the patient's skin?

[@waynestephen8970]

wholeNwon i was instructed to use an alcohol swab
