Ophthalmoscopic Examination
-
The examination
is carried out to exclude any abnormality in the fundii and media.
-
Examination must be carried out in a
systematic manner starting from the cornea,
anterior chamber, pupil, iris, lens, posterior
chamber and retina.
-
Note will be taken of
reaction of the pupil to the light, abnormality
of the pupillary edge, any evidence of
inflammation of the iris and lenticular opacity.
-
Vitreous floaters are usually of no
significance.
-
Any abnormal vascular pattern, macular
scaring, hemorrhages or exudates in the fundii
will be noted.
-
The normality of the disc and the
vascular pattern in the disc and its edges, AV
ratio, papillary oedema or colour change in and
around the disc and pigmentary changes elsewhere
provide valuable clues to various systemic
diseases and must be carefully noted.
