Fundus Examination

Fundus Examination

Fundus examination is a medical procedure used to assess the back part of the eye, known as the fundus. It involves the examination of the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels in the eye. This evaluation is typically conducted by an ophthalmologist or optometrist using specialized instruments such as an ophthalmoscope or a fundus camera. Fundus examinations are crucial for detecting various eye conditions and diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and hypertension-related eye changes. Timely fundus examinations can help diagnose these conditions in their early stages, allowing for prompt intervention and preservation of vision.
